Prenatal & Postnatal Care
About the procedure
Prenatal and postnatal care involves continuous monitoring of maternal and fetal health before and after childbirth. Regular check-ups include physical exams, blood pressure, urine tests, and ultrasound scans to ensure healthy pregnancy progression and detect complications early. Postnatal care focuses on maternal recovery, breastfeeding support, emotional well-being, and family planning guidance. This comprehensive care improves outcomes for both, mother and baby, supporting a smooth transition through pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.
