Antenatal Care During Pregnancy

Antenatal care is crucial for the health of both the mother and baby, ideally beginning before pregnancy. The initial appointment, around 6-8 weeks into pregnancy, involves a thorough health assessment and discussion of the care plan. Routine tests include blood, urine, and ultrasound scans to monitor health and development. Appointments become more frequent from 24 weeks onward, focusing on the well-being of mother and baby.
