Antenatal checkups are a critical component of prenatal care that involves regular medical appointments with an obstetrician or midwife during pregnancy. These checkups are essential for monitoring the health and wellbeing of the mother and the developing baby and identifying any potential complications or risks that may arise during pregnancy. At our hospital, we offer comprehensive antenatal care services to support the health of expectant mothers and their babies. During an antenatal checkup, the following assessments and tests may be conducted: Physical Exam: The obstetrician or midwife will perform a physical examination to check the mother's blood pressure, weight, and overall health. Ultrasound Scans: These scans are used to monitor the baby's growth and development, identify any abnormalities or defects, and determine the baby's gender. Blood and Urine Tests: These tests can detect various conditions, including anemia, gestational diabetes, infections, and genetic disorders in the baby. Screening Tests: These tests are used to identify any risks of complications during pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia, premature labor, and other conditions that may affect the health of the mother or the baby. Fetal Monitoring: This may include listening to the baby's heartbeat, checking the baby's movements, and assessing the mother's contractions during labor. In addition to these assessments and tests, antenatal checkups provide an opportunity for expectant mothers to ask questions, discuss any concerns, and receive advice and support from their healthcare provider. Our team of experienced obstetricians and midwives provides personalized care to each patient, tailored to their individual needs and preferences. We work closely with each patient to develop a comprehensive antenatal care plan that supports the health and wellbeing of both mother and baby.
