What is Antenatal Care?

Antenatal care refers to the medical care and monitoring provided during pregnancy. It is designed to track the progress of the pregnancy, detect any potential concerns early, and guide patients through each stage.

Key objectives of antenatal care:

  • Monitor fetal growth and development
  • Ensure maternal health and wellbeing
  • Identify and manage complications early
  • Prepare for a safe delivery

Regular antenatal visits are essential for achieving the best outcomes.

1. Regular Check-ups

Patients attend scheduled visits throughout pregnancy to monitor progress. These include:

  • Blood pressure monitoring
  • Weight tracking
  • Assessment of fetal growth
  • Discussion of symptoms and concerns


2. Ultrasound Scans

Ultrasound plays a vital role in monitoring the baby’s development, including:
