Checkups are important for the health of both mother and child during pregnancy. These checkups allow potential problems to be identified and treated early, before they develop into serious complications. Furthermore, monitoring pregnancy and birth can help ensure that everything goes according to plan and minimize the risk of complications.
While prenatal visits include a thorough examination of the fetus, uterus, and mother's general health, they may also include tests such as Down syndrome screening, ultrasounds, and urine and blood tests.
Regular prenatal visits are important because they provide a chance for the mother to ask questions, receive information about her pregnancy and birth, and prepare for the changes ahead. It can also be an opportunity to build a close relationship with her doctor or obstetrician and ensure she receives the best possible care during her pregnancy and upon delivery.
The following questions can be clarified in preventive examinations
- Monitoring fetal growth and development
- Checking placental function
- Check blood pressure and glucose levels (if necessary)
- Check for possible signs of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia or premature birth
- Checking the amniotic fluid
- Checking the cervix
- Checking the mother's weight and general health
- Recommendations for healthy diet, exercise and behavior during pregnancy.
