Health checkups during pregnancy, also known as antenatal checkups, are essential for monitoring the health of both the mother and the developing baby. These checkups typically include regular physical exams, blood and urine tests, ultrasound scans, and screenings for conditions like gestational diabetes, anemia, and infections. They help track fetal growth, detect complications early, and provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and birth planning. Regular prenatal visits ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy journey for both mother and baby.
