Prenatal And Postnatal Examination

Pregnancy care consists of prenatal (before birth) and postnatal (after birth) healthcare for expectant mothers. It involves treatments and training to ensure a healthy pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and labor and delivery for mom and baby.

Prenatal tests are tests done during pregnancy to check a woman's health and her baby's. They can detect conditions that can put a baby at risk for problems like preterm birth if they're not treated. Tests also can help health care providers find things like a birth defect or a chromosomal abnormality.

The postnatal check or six-week postnatal check is a postnatal doctor's appointment, during which your doctor will make sure that your baby is healthy and growing well and also check that you are well. They are there to answer any questions you may have about yourself or your baby too.
