Pregnancy is an important phase in a woman's life and the health of the child is directly related to the health of the mother. The early stage of pregnancy is the most crucial period and requires thorough evaluation. This package is unique since it tests the blood group, nutritional status, and important infectious diseases like HIV, syphilis, and Hepatitis B and C in the pregnant which can be transmitted from the mother to her child. It also offers tests including random blood glucose, TSH, hemoglobin, completed urine examination and more to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
An antenatal health check-up package is performed in pregnant to determine if the mother has any disease conditions that may interfere with the normal development of the fetus and thus help in the identification of factors requiring special care. Lack of antenatal care increases the chance of low birth weight babies and premature births.
During your doctor consultation, your doctor performs a physical examination and asks you about your medical history (conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure, heart diseases and medications), reproductive history, vaccination status, diet, lifestyle, and other habits. Getting the right advice and following the instructions of your doctor helps you to get ready for a healthy conception and baby.
