Prenatal Care
This includes prenatal appointments every 4 weeks from 12-28 weeks, every 2 weeks from 28-36 weeks and weekly until delivery.
Prenatal care is essential for monitoring the health and development of both the expectant mother and her baby throughout pregnancy. Regular check-ups allow midwives to assess the mother's health, screen for potential complications, and provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and prenatal supplements.
These visits often include measuring the baby's growth, listening to the heartbeat, and conducting necessary laboratory tests. Consistent prenatal care can help ensure a healthier pregnancy, reduce the risk of complications, and improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
