During antenatal visits, healthcare providers conduct various assessments to track the health of the mother and fetus. These typically include:
Ultrasound scans to monitor fetal growth and development. Blood tests to check for anemia, blood type, and infections. Urine tests to detect protein, sugar, and signs of infection. Measurement of blood pressure to screen for preeclampsia. Discussion of maternal health habits including diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.
