Prenatal care, often referred to as antenatal care, is a vital aspect of healthcare for pregnant women to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus. Prenatal care encompasses a series of medical check-ups, screenings, and counseling sessions that monitor and promote the health of the mother and address any potential complications during pregnancy. These services aim to provide early detection of issues, education on healthy practices, and support for a successful pregnancy and childbirth.
