Sai Speciality Center provides comprehensive antenatal care for expectant mothers from the early stages of pregnancy until delivery. Regular antenatal check-ups help monitor the health of both mother and baby, identify pregnancy-related complications early, and support a safe pregnancy journey.
Whether you are experiencing your first pregnancy or have had previous pregnancies, our personalised antenatal care focuses on routine pregnancy monitoring, fetal development, nutritional guidance and preparation for childbirth.
Antenatal care, also known as prenatal care, is the medical care provided to women throughout pregnancy before childbirth. It includes regular health check-ups, pregnancy scans, laboratory investigations, fetal growth monitoring and counselling to ensure the wellbeing of both mother and baby.
Regular antenatal visits help identify pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, anaemia and fetal growth concerns at an early stage.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends routine antenatal care throughout pregnancy to improve maternal and newborn health and reduce pregnancy-related complications.
Pregnancy causes many physical and hormonal changes. While many changes are normal, some symptoms require medical evaluation.
Women with a positive pregnancy test or missed period should begin antenatal care as early as possible. Early registration allows timely health assessments and pregnancy planning.
Nausea and vomiting are common during early pregnancy. Persistent vomiting, dehydration, or inability to eat normally should be evaluated by a doctor.
Women with the following conditions may require closer monitoring:
Iron deficiency and anaemia are common during pregnancy and may cause tiredness, weakness and dizziness. Early diagnosis and treatment help support healthy fetal growth.
Some women develop diabetes during pregnancy. Regular blood sugar monitoring and dietary management help reduce complications for both mother and baby.
Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension
High blood pressure during pregnancy requires regular monitoring because it may increase the risk of complications such as preeclampsia.
Routine antenatal visits include monitoring:
| Pregnancy Concern | Common Symptoms | Diagnosis | Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Pregnancy | Missed periods, nausea | Pregnancy test, Ultrasound | Antenatal registration |
| Morning Sickness | Nausea, vomiting | Clinical evaluation | Diet advice, Medicines |
