Prenatal
Care provided during pregnancy to support maternal and fetal health.
Prenatal care is the care provided during pregnancy to support maternal and fetal health and to catch complications early. Folic acid taken before and during early pregnancy prevents fetal neural tube defects, making preconception counseling valuable. Regular prenatal visits monitor fetal growth, blood pressure, and weight while screening for conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
