Antenatal care
Antenatal care (ANC) refers to the medical attention and support provided to expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy. Prenatal care involves the preventive healthcare measures taken to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus. Comprehensive antenatal and prenatal care includes regular check-ups, monitoring, and education to ensure a healthy pregnancy, safe delivery, and healthy newborn.
Importance of Antenatal and Prenatal Care:
- Monitoring Health: Regular check-ups help monitor the health of the mother and the fetus, ensuring any potential issues are detected early.
- Nutritional Guidance: Proper nutrition is crucial for the health of both the mother and the baby, and guidance on diet and supplements is provided.
- Education and Support: Expectant mothers receive information on pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care, helping them prepare for each stage.
- Preventive Care: Vaccinations, screenings, and other preventive measures are taken to avoid complications.
- Emotional Support: Counseling and support are offered to help manage stress and emotional well-being during pregnancy.
