Antenatal and Post Natal Visit
Antenatal & Postnatal Care: Nurturing health, embracing parenthood.
Service Description
Antenatal visits, also known as prenatal visits, are appointments that pregnant individuals have with healthcare providers during their pregnancy. These visits typically involve medical assessments, screenings, and discussions about the health of both the pregnant person and the developing fetus. Antenatal visits aim to monitor the progress of the pregnancy, address any concerns or complications that may arise, provide education and support, and prepare for labor and delivery. Postnatal visits, on the other hand, occur after the birth of the baby and focus on the health and well-being of both the mother and the newborn. These visits typically involve physical examinations for the mother, assessments of the baby's growth and development, guidance on breastfeeding and infant care, and addressing any postpartum issues or concerns. Postnatal visits are important for ensuring that both mother and baby are healthy and adjusting well to the new experience of parenthood.
