Antenatal care refers to the medical checkups and guidance you receive throughout your pregnancy. It helps monitor your health and your baby’s development, identify potential risks, and prepare you for childbirth.
Ideally, you should start antenatal care as soon as you know you’re pregnant. Early checkups can address any pre-existing health concerns and ensure a healthy pregnancy from the beginning.
Antenatal visits typically involve weight and blood pressure checks, fetal heartbeat monitoring, blood tests to screen for conditions, and discussions about your health and any concerns you may have.
Postnatal care focuses on your well-being and your baby’s health after childbirth. It includes checkups to monitor recovery from delivery, breastfeeding support, and guidance on newborn care.
The recommended duration of postnatal care varies, but typically involves checkups in the first few weeks and then at regular intervals for the first year of your baby’s life.
Some common concerns during pregnancy include morning sickness, fatigue, back pain, nutrition, and fetal development. Your doctor can address these and any other worries you have.
New parents often face challenges like fatigue, sleep deprivation, difficulty breastfeeding, and emotional adjustment. Postnatal care can provide support and resources to navigate these hurdles.
Feeling overwhelmed, experiencing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or sleep, and difficulty bonding with your baby can be signs of postpartum depression.
Yes, childbirth anxiety is very common. Talking to your doctor, attending birthing classes, and having a good support system can help manage anxiety.
