Antenatal Postnatal Care

Antenatal and postnatal care are essential components of maternal and newborn health, focusing on the well-being of the mother and baby before and after birth. These stages involve regular check-ups, monitoring, education, and support to ensure healthy pregnancies, safe deliveries, and proper recovery and care postpartum. Evaluation of the mother's medical, surgical, and obstetric history. Comprehensive check-up including weight, blood pressure, and pelvic examination. Blood tests to check for anemia, blood type, Rh factor, infections, and gestational diabetes. Monthly visits until 28 weeks, bi-weekly visits from 28 to 36 weeks, and weekly visits from 36 weeks until delivery. Ultrasound scans to check fetal development, screen for abnormalities, and determine the due date. Guidance on a balanced diet, appropriate weight gain, and safe physical activities.
