During antenatal visits, several assessments and tests are conducted to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the fetus. These include:
Blood tests to check for anemia, blood type, and infectious diseases. Ultrasound scans to monitor the development of the fetus and screen for congenital abnormalities. Blood pressure measurements to detect hypertension. Urine tests to screen for infections and monitor kidney function. Monitoring of fetal heart rate. Assessments of fetal growth and amniotic fluid levels.
