The results from the doctor are in, and it’s all congratulations – you’re going to be a mother! Now, the burning question in your mind is, what’s next? The pregnancy journey is an exciting one, but it can also be a bit scary, especially if it’s your first time. With handbooks, instruction manuals, and do’s and don’ts coming at you from every corner, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But here’s something to keep in mind – amidst all this information, one thing remains constant: Antenatal care.
Every pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, making up the usual nine-month gestation period. Medically speaking, the first three months, also known as the first trimester, are crucial. It’s advised for every mother to kickstart her antenatal visits as soon as she finds out she’s pregnant.
Here’s what happens on your 1st visit
- Determine your due date.
- Find out your health history.
- Explore the medical history of family members.
- Determine if you have any pregnancy risk factors based on your age, health, and/or personal and family history.
Moving forward, your OB/GYN will guide you with personalized advice and planned visits. At Zazi Hospitals ,Eastleigh Branch , our comprehensive pregnancy package includes
