High Risk Pregnancy (GDM / twins / HT)

Prenatal care refers to the comprehensive healthcare and support provided to a woman throughout her pregnancy to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby. It includes regular medical check-ups, monitoring of fetal development, and early detection and management of any potential complications. Proper prenatal care is essential for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery.

The care begins even before conception in some cases and continues until childbirth. It involves routine examinations, blood and urine tests, ultrasound scans, and guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, and overall health. Prenatal care also focuses on educating expectant mothers about pregnancy changes, labor, and postnatal recovery.

Key aspects of prenatal care include:

• Regular antenatal visits to monitor maternal and fetal health
• Ultrasound scans to track fetal growth and development
• Nutritional guidance and supplementation (iron, calcium, folic acid)
• Screening for conditions such as anemia, diabetes, and infections
• Management of high-risk pregnancies
• Vaccinations to protect mother and baby
• Counseling on labor, delivery, and newborn care
