Prenatal check-ups are important for the health of mother and child during pregnancy. These examinations make it possible to identify potential problems early and treat them before they develop into serious complications. In addition, monitoring pregnancy and birth can help ensure that everything goes according to plan and minimize the risk of complications.
While prenatal care includes a thorough check of the fetus, uterus, and general health of the mother, it may also include performing tests such as Down syndrome screening, ultrasounds, and urine and blood tests.
It is important to have regular checkups as this is a chance for the mother to ask questions, get information about her pregnancy and birth, and prepare for the changes ahead. It can also be a chance to build a close relationship with her doctor or obstetrician and ensure that she receives the best possible care during her pregnancy and the birth of her child.
The following questions can be clarified during 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 a healthy diet, exercise and behavior during pregnancy.
