Management of pregnancy

Pregnancy management is the medical observation of the expectant mother and fetus to assess their health and ensure the birth of a wonderful baby. After a woman finds out that she is pregnant, she should immediately register for pregnancy. Regular visits to a doctor and professional pregnancy management at ZDRAVO are the best way to identify risks and problems in a timely manner and take preventive measures or make sure that everything is going well.

Pregnancy planning

Pregnancy planning is a process of special preparation and decision-making about having a child. Its main goal is to create optimal conditions for conception, pregnancy, and childbirth. Pregnancy planning is preparation under the supervision of a professional doctor for the conscious birth of a child.

Future parents undergo an initial consultation with a gynecologist to find out all the features of their reproductive system. At the same time, the mother's health is crucial. Does she have diabetes, infections and other diseases that can affect the health of the unborn child? The father's health also matters. His age and lifestyle affect the fertility and health of the child. The doctor may also recommend undergoing screening tests to determine the presence of hereditary genetic diseases.

Preparing for pregnancy

Preparing for pregnancy means increasing the chances of conceiving a child. At the beginning of the planning process, future parents undergo various tests. If pathologies are found, they undergo appropriate treatment. Preparation for pregnancy can also include taking hormones, changing your diet, giving up bad habits, and more. During a consultation with a specialist, all relevant recommendations for a particular case will be provided.

Pregnancy check-ups

Pregnancy care includes the necessary tests and medical examinations, as well as follow-up visits. On average, a woman with one fetus should visit a doctor 8-10 times during gestation. A number of medical examinations depend on when a woman decides when to register for pregnancy. Most often, pregnancy management follows the following protocol:

• consultations: it should definitely be an obstetrician-gynecologist, a family doctor, an endocrinologist and other specialists may also be needed;
• Tests: complete blood count, biochemistry and general urine analysis, HIV, hepatitis, infections, smears, and others (the doctor will prescribe the appropriate tests, depending on the mother's health status);
• Ultrasound (screening tests);
• examination of the health status of the child's father: it can be a lung X-ray, determination of blood type and Rh factor.

Zdravo clinic specialists will do everything to make the mother feel safe and confident that she receives all the necessary prenatal care.

How, where and when to register for pregnancy?

Most often, expectant mothers are concerned about the question: “when to register for pregnancy?”. The fetus's basic body systems are formed by 12 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to register for pregnancy before this time. The best time to visit a doctor is 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. If you were planning a birth, you will most likely visit an obstetrician-gynecologist earlier to confirm your condition.

To receive qualified medical care, the expectant mother must determine where to register for pregnancy. There are several options:

• antenatal clinic that accepts women living in a certain area of the city
• consultation at the maternity hospital;
• a private clinic.

Expectant mothers also need to know what documents they need to register for pregnancy. To register for obstetric care, you only need to have a passport. During a consultation with an obstetrician-gynecologist in a private clinic, the specialist will tell you in detail about how to register for pregnancy, perform an examination, and prepare all the necessary documents:

1. An individual card for pregnant women and women in labor.
2. Exchange card.

The main medical document of a pregnant woman is an exchange card. It contains all the data on the mother's health status, how the pregnancy is progressing, what tests have been performed and their results, and the specialist's comments. With the exchange card, the expectant mother goes to the maternity hospital.Thus, all you need to register for pregnancy is to choose a suitable clinic, make an appointment and come there with your passport.
