Comprehensive antenatal and postnatal care ensures the well-being of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy and after childbirth. Antenatal care involves regular check-ups, ultrasounds, nutritional guidance, and screenings to monitor fetal growth and maternal health, helping to prevent complications like gestational diabetes and high-risk pregnancies.
Postnatal care focuses on the mother’s recovery, newborn health, breastfeeding support, and emotional well-being. It includes monitoring postpartum healing, addressing lactation challenges, and providing guidance on newborn care.
