Routine antenatal care involves a series of scheduled appointments and assessments during pregnancy to monitor the progress of the pregnancy, detect any potential complications early, and provide guidance and support to expectant mothers. This includes:
- Initial Visit: A comprehensive assessment that includes medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests to establish baseline health and identify any risk factors.
- Regular Check-ups: Scheduled appointments throughout pregnancy to monitor maternal and fetal well-being, including blood pressure checks, weight measurement, fetal growth assessment, and urine tests.
- Ultrasound Imaging: Routine ultrasound scans to monitor fetal development, assess fetal growth and anatomy, and detect any abnormalities or potential issues.
- Screening Tests: Screening tests for genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, and other conditions to identify any potential risks and provide appropriate care and support.
- Nutritional Counseling: Guidance on maintaining a healthy diet, taking prenatal vitamins, and managing any pregnancy-related nutrition concerns.
- Education and Counseling: Information and counseling on various aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, newborn care, and postpartum recovery.
Importance of Counseling in Antenatal Care
Counseling plays a crucial role in antenatal care by providing expectant mothers with the information, support, and resources they need to make informed decisions about their pregnancy and childbirth journey. Our counseling services include:
