What is an Antenatal Checkup?

An antenatal checkup, also known as a prenatal visit, is a scheduled medical examination during pregnancy that helps monitor both the mother's health and the baby's growth.

These routine visits allow your obstetrician to:

  • Track your baby's development
  • Monitor maternal health
  • Detect pregnancy complications early
  • Recommend necessary investigations
  • Provide nutritional guidance
  • Prepare you for labor and delivery

Regular pregnancy checkups help reduce complications and improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and safe childbirth.
