Antenatal health check-up packages are essential to prenatal care. These packages include a series of tests and check-ups during the pregnancy to ensure that both the mother and baby are healthy. The package usually consists of a range of tests, including complete urine examination, VDRL, thyroid stimulating hormone, random blood glucose, serum creatinine, platelet count, hemoglobin, USG screening, etc. These tests aim to detect any potential health issues that could affect the health of the mother and the baby. These sessions are essential as they educate women on how to care for themselves during pregnancy, what to expect during labor, and how to prepare for childbirth. They also provide emotional support, crucial during this time, as many women experience anxiety and stress during pregnancy.
Antenatal check-up packages can vary depending on the healthcare provider and the patient's needs. Some packages may include additional services such as nutritional counseling, breastfeeding support, and childbirth education. These packages give pregnant mothers the information and support they require for a safe and successful pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.
