Antenatal care is the thorough monitoring of women during their pregnancies to track the development of the fetus and assess the health of the mother and the fetus. A proper prenatal examination gives the mother the attention she needs. It aids in spotting pregnancy issues including pre-eclampsia, anemia, and hypertension in the mother as well as the fetus's incomplete or sluggish development.
