Pregnancy Care

Pregnancy care, also known as prenatal care, is essential for ensuring the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby throughout pregnancy. Obstetricians and gynecologists provide medical guidance, monitoring, and support during this crucial phase.

• Ultrasounds & Lab Tests – To track baby’s development and screen for genetic or health issues.
• Nutrition & Lifestyle Counseling – Diet plans, exercise recommendations, and weight management.
• Managing Pregnancy Symptoms – Nausea, back pain, swelling, and mood changes.
• High-Risk Pregnancy Management – Special care for conditions like hypertension, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia.

3. Labor & Delivery Care
