What are antenatal checks?

Antenatal checks are routine medical appointments designed to monitor the health and development of the mother and baby during pregnancy. They help identify potential issues early on and allow you to discuss any concerns you may have.

Why are regular antenatal visits important?

Regular antenatal visits are essential for several reasons: They help monitor your baby's growth, check for signs of complications, and ensure your health is on track.

These visits also provide a platform for moms to receive valuable information, exercise, and lifestyle choices that can positively impact their pregnancy.

What can you expect from an antenatal check?

During an antenatal check, your healthcare professional will perform various assessments, including:

• Measuring blood pressure and weight
• Conducting blood tests and urine analysis
• Monitoring your baby's heartbeat and growth
• Performing ultrasounds to visualise your baby's development
• Discussing any symptoms or concerns you may have

How often should I have an antenatal check?

The frequency of antenatal checks varies depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual health needs. Typically, visits are scheduled as follows:

• Every 4 weeks during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy
• Every 2 weeks from 28 to 36 weeks
• Weekly from 36 weeks until delivery

What are the benefits of antenatal education?

In addition to medical assessments, antenatal care at Network One Health includes educational sessions to prepare you for childbirth and parenthood. These sessions cover topics such as labour and delivery processes, pain management options during labour, breastfeeding techniques, and newborn care essentials.
