Why is Antenatal Care Important?
Antenatal care is important because it:
- Allows for early identification and management of potential health problems that may arise during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, or pre-eclampsia.
- Includes regular check-ups and tests to monitor the growth and development of the foetus, such as ultrasound scans and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
- Provides education and counselling on a wide range of topics related to pregnancy and childbirth, such as nutrition, exercise, labour and delivery, breastfeeding, and postpartum care.
- It helps to reduce the anxiety and stress that women may experience during pregnancy.
- Helps to coordinate care between obstetricians, midwives, and other doctors, as well as connecting new parents with support services as needed.
- Has been linked to better outcomes for both mother and baby, such as fewer premature births, low birth weight, and infant mortality.
- It offers a way for a woman to build a relationship with her doctor, which can be helpful when giving birth. This relationship can be especially beneficial for women who are anxious or have complicated pregnancies.
