What is antenatal care?
Antenatal care refers to the regular medical and nursing attention and examinations recommended for women during pregnancy. These services are crucial for monitoring the health of both the mother and the foetus.

How often should I go for antenatal visits?
The frequency of antenatal visits can depend on the pregnancy stage and the mother’s individual health needs. Generally, visits are scheduled:
- Once a month until the 28th week of pregnancy.
- Every two weeks from the 28th to the 36th week.
- Weekly from the 36th week until delivery.
Why would I need antenatal care?
Antenatal care is essential for every pregnant woman, regardless of age or health status. Regular check-ups can prevent potential health issues, manage ongoing conditions, and significantly contribute to a favourable pregnancy outcome.
With antenatal care, potential risks such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and other complications can be identified and managed early.

- Early and Regular Monitoring: From confirming the pregnancy to monitoring foetal development, early and consistent check-ups help in assessing the health of both mother and baby.
- Education and Advice: Dr Kabala provides valuable information on proper nutrition, physical activity, and managing common pregnancy symptoms and concerns.
