» The main benefits of prenatal care.
- Prevention and reduction of complications.
- It helps doctors screen for and assess various risks that may occur during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure, or anemia.
- If any abnormality is found, early care and treatment will be provided to prevent or reduce potential harm to both the mother and the baby.
- Screening for diseases and risk conditions.
- Blood tests are performed to screen for infectious diseases (such as syphilis, HIV) and genetic diseases (such as thalassemia).
- Tests are performed to assess fetal well-being and development, such as ultrasound scans to detect organ abnormalities and screening for chromosomal disorders (e.g., Down syndrome).
- Promote good health.
- The mother will receive essential vitamin and mineral supplements, such as folic acid, iron, and iodine, to aid in the baby's growth and development.
- Receiving accurate health guidance on topics such as nutrition, exercise, appropriate behavior/self-care, and preparation for labor and delivery.
- Planning for care throughout the pregnancy until delivery.
- Doctors will be able to plan care that is appropriate for each mother's specific pregnancy condition throughout the entire 40-week period.
- To help ensure the pregnancy proceeds as normally as possible and to make childbirth as safe as possible for both the mother and the baby.
