Antenatal Care

What is antenatal care

Antenatal care is the consultations you have with your gynecologist about yourself and the baby during the nine months of pregnancy.  It is important that you make these visits regularly and from early on in your pregnancy. Your doctor will arrange to ensure you are properly cared for during the months leading up to your baby's birth.  At each visit, your doctor will help you, to spot possible problems before they start and to check that all is well with you and your baby.  Antenatal care may also involve visits to your doctor's surgery or health center or to a hospital antenatal clinic.
 

What generally takes place during a visit to a gynecologist

You will be given a number of different tests.  For example, you will be weighed to check how your baby is growing.  Your blood will be tested to make sure you are not anaemic and to find out your blood group.  You may also be examined internally to check that your womb and the baby are developing normally.  This is perfectly safe and nothing to worry about. Going to the clinic will also give you a good chance to discuss your questions and worries with experts.  Do not hesitate to ask them, however silly the question may seem.  It is better to make a list of what you want to ask before you go.
