Pregnancy Care

Pregnancy is a beautiful experience when you are healthy, informed, and prepared for it. Taking good care during pregnancy can improve the chances of a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby. Therefore, pregnancy care should be initiated with the suspicion of pregnancy.

Prenatal care and assessment (before birth)

Prenatal care is also called antenatal care. This preventive healthcare approach is a specialty of Dr. Mustafa and his team. Missing out on antenatal care may increase the chance of low birth weight in babies, stillbirth, and preventable health issues. 

General pregnancy care is done through the following assessments: 

  • Medical checkups – Prenatal screening and diagnosis like ultrasound
  • Consultations – recommendations on managing a healthy lifestyle
  • Advice and information – provision of medical information such as maternal physiological and biological changes during pregnancy
  • Additional nutrition – Dr. Mustafa suggests prenatal vitamins to cover any deficiency in the mother and child to prevent potential health problems.

Benefits of prenatal care

Routine prenatal care helps—

Healthy Fetal Development: Helps reduce the chances of congenital disabilities and supports proper growth of the baby.

Balanced Weight Gain: Helps optimize maternal weight gain during pregnancy for better overall health.

Back Support: Reduces strain on the lower back and improves posture during pregnancy.

Early Detection: Helps spot potential problems early and prevents complications during delivery.

Improved Circulation: Reduces chances of leg cramps, swelling, and varicose veins.

Better Metabolic Health: Lowers the risk of constipation and gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

Prenatal assessments

Routine checkups occur—

Weeks 4 – 28: Doctor visits are recommended once every month during this period.

Weeks 28 – 36: Visits increase to two times a month for closer monitoring.

Weeks 36 – Birth: Weekly check-ups are required to ensure safe delivery.

High-Risk Pregnancy: Women with high-risk conditions may need more frequent doctor visits and monitoring.

Postnatal care and assessment (after birth)

Postnatal care is the care required by a new mom and her newborn immediately after birth until the first six weeks of life. Most maternal and neonatal deaths happen during childbirth and the postpartum period.

While the mother goes through many physical and emotional changes, feeling exhausted and learning to handle her newborn, she needs such crucial support and advice. 

Benefits of Postpartum Care

HELPS IN HEALTHY WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
SUPPORTS FAT BURN & FITNESS
HELPS QUICK RECOVERY AFTER DELIVERY

Postnatal assessments include routine checkups at—

 
First visit

within 1 week, preferably on day 3

Second visit

7-14 days after birth

Third visit

4-6 weeks after birth

Postpartum care also involves the following—

Getting enough rest

Rest is crucial for rebuilding a new mother’s health and strength. So, use every opportunity to sleep and rest while not attending to the baby. Keep the baby’s crib close by for night feedings.

 Eating Right

While the body and mind undergo significant transformation, having proper nutrition helps you with breastfeeding and preventing constipation. Breastfeeding mothers may require meals more times. Include low-fat protein-rich food, balanced carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables. In addition, drinking plenty of fluids is mandatory. 

Vaginal Care

New moms should not ignore vaginal care. Post delivery, you may experience:

Soreness in the vagina in case of a tear during delivery
Urination problems, like persistent urge or pain
Discharge or small blood clots
Spasms and contractions in the first few days post-delivery
