What is Antenatal Care ?
Antenatal care, also known as prenatal care, is a series of routine check-ups, screenings, and treatments provided to pregnant women. This care ensures the health and safety of both the mother and the unborn baby throughout pregnancy. Regular antenatal care helps in early detection of any health risks and provides guidance on a healthy lifestyle, dietary habits, and preparation for childbirth.
Common Symptoms in Pregnancy
Pregnancy is accompanied by several changes in the body. Some common symptoms include:
- Morning sickness: Nausea, especially during the first trimester.
- Fatigue: Increased tiredness due to hormonal changes.
- Breast tenderness: Breasts may become sore and sensitive.
- Frequent urination: Due to pressure on the bladder from the growing uterus.
- Back pain: As the pregnancy progresses, back pain may develop.
- Swollen feet and ankles: Fluid retention often leads to swelling.
Causes of Pregnancy Symptoms
Pregnancy symptoms are mainly caused by hormonal changes, physical adjustments, and the body’s increased blood supply. As the baby grows, the body adapts, causing various discomforts like back pain or frequent urination. Other factors include the placenta producing more hormones and the weight of the baby causing strain on different parts of the body.
How is Antenatal Care Diagnosed?
At Swara’s Carewave Women & Ortho Clinic, antenatal care begins with a comprehensive initial assessment of the mother’s medical history, lifestyle, and overall health. This is followed by regular check-ups to monitor the health of the mother and baby. Dr. Swati Bhakare uses advanced diagnostic tools like ultrasounds, blood tests, and screening methods to detect any potential complications early and provide timely treatment.
