We will support you with compassion, advanced care, and unshaken strength, from your very first pregnancy test to the moment you grasp the tiny fingers of your firstborn. What Is Antenatal Care and Why Is It Important? The prenatal or antenatal care of a pregnant woman comprises ongoing check-ups, screening, and counseling aimed at the expectant mother during the course of her pregnancy. These check-ups are vital for monitoring the health of the mother and her fetus, so as to detect any emerging complications early and take timely remedial measures, if necessary, to ensure both the timely and normal delivery of the mother and her child. We offer antenatal care according to a well-structured program following national and international medical guidelines. Regular antenatal visits would enable us to: * Monitor fetal growth and development * Check maternal health (blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, etc.) * Screen for any complications (like gestational diabetes, anemia, or infections) * Offer nutritional and lifestyle guidance * Prepare the mother for labor, delivery, and postnatal care Our Comprehensive Antenatal Services in Ludhiana We provide complete antenatal care from the first trimester to the time of delivery. Our services include: 1. Routine Pregnancy Check-ups We schedule regular check-ups to monitor your health and your baby’s development. These include: * Blood pressure and weight monitoring * Urine and blood tests * Ultrasound scans * Fetal heartbeat monitoring 2. Diagnostic Tests and Screenings Our team conducts essential diagnostic tests at specific stages to ensure both mother and baby remain healthy. These include: * Blood group and Rh factor testing * Glucose tolerance test (GTT) * Hemoglobin levels and thyroid function * Anomaly scan and fetal growth scans 3. Nutritional and Lifestyle Guidance Proper nutrition during pregnancy plays a key role in fetal development. Our dietitians work to customize dietary plans to suit your nutritional needs, trimester, and associated health conditions such as gestational diabetes or anemia. 4. Vaccinations During Pregnancy As per your pregnancy safety plan, all vaccinations (such as tetanus and influenza) should be given to you. 5.

The labor process is closely observed by our team, who also provide options for pain relief, continuous fetal monitoring, and emotional support throughout. 2.
