Antenatal & Prenatal Care: Your First Steps to a Healthy Pregnancy

 Antenatal care in Mulund and prenatal care are synonymous and also one of our primary maternity care. It’s a broad operative care concept that includes regular health assessments to avoid all the possible pregnancy complications and risks throughout the journey. Antenatal or prenatal care in Mulund is divided into different groups:

• 1st Trimester – This period majorly focuses on a healthy diet and regular exercise. Our nutritionists will curate a specialized diet plan that includes all the necessary components for both mother and child. Low-impact exercises such as walking and yoga/meditation are also recommended.
• 2nd Trimester – This is the most important phase, where two visits are required to conduct a health assessment of both the mother and the unborn child. Numerous tests are conducted such as ultrasounds, blood tests, BP checks, and checking baby’s movements by our pregnancy doctor in Mulund.
• 3rd Trimester – This is the last phase, usually the last three months, where constant low-impact exercises are advised. This is because the baby stays intact inside the womb and makes favorable movements, making the delivery hassle-free.

Comprehensive Care from Conception to Delivery

Comprehensive care is all about providing necessary healthcare support to both mother and baby during and after pregnancy. The motive is to nurture the overall well-being of both mother and child.

• Conception planning – This is the first phase, where a health assessment is done to detect pregnancy complications (if any). Besides, health assessment tests, counseling, and interventions are conducted to address the medical and nutritional needs.
• Trimester-wise care – This is the most important part, where 5-7 periodic visits are made regarding physical and nutritional needs. Certain lifestyle changes are recommended, including following a prescribed diet and exercise routine. This also includes physical examinations to check the baby’s movements inside the womb.
• Postnatal care – This phase begins when the baby is born and usually lasts for a few weeks. The key benefit of postnatal care is the appropriate nurturing of both mother and newborn child. During this phase, appropriate consultation is given regarding newborn care, breastfeeding, and managing postpartum depression.
