Pregnancy Tracking

Prenatal care is a service that ensures prospective mothers regularly undergo health check-ups and have their health monitored at every stage of pregnancy. Here is a detailed explanation of prenatal care:

Initial Examination and Diagnosis Process: Prenatal care usually begins at the start of pregnancy, when pregnancy is confirmed. The prospective mother is examined by an obstetrician, the exact date of pregnancy is determined, and basic health information is collected.

Regular Check-ups: Throughout the prenatal care process, regular check-ups are conducted at intervals. These check-ups assess important parameters such as the general health status of the prospective mother, uterine size, fetal growth and development, blood pressure, and weight tracking.

Ultrasound Examinations: During prenatal care, ultrasounds are performed at specific times. These examinations provide a detailed look at the baby's development, organs, and overall health status.

Blood and Urine Tests: Blood and urine tests are conducted at specific times during pregnancy. These tests monitor important health parameters such as the prospective mother’s blood values, infection status, and glucose metabolism.

Risk Assessment and Counseling: During prenatal care, potential risk factors are identified and risk management plans are created if necessary. The prospective mother receives counseling on nutrition, exercise, changes during pregnancy, and prenatal preparations.

Antenatal Education: Throughout the prenatal care process, prospective mothers are provided with antenatal education. These sessions cover topics such as the birth process, delivery techniques, breastfeeding, and newborn care, equipping them with knowledge and skills.

Prenatal care is crucial for ensuring that prospective mothers have a healthy pregnancy and delivery process. This process, conducted by an expert obstetrician, is of great importance for the health of both the mother and the baby.
