Osmosis video - Routine prenatal care: Clinical

Routine prenatal care is clinical care provided to pregnant women throughout their pregnancy to monitor the health of both mother and baby. It typically involves monitoring the mother's health, including weight, blood pressure, urine analysis, and blood tests.

Prenatal visits also provide the mother with information about healthy lifestyle choices, nutrition, and other topics related to her pregnancy. The frequency of prenatal visits can vary, but typically, prenatal visits are done every 4 weeks until week 28, every two weeks from week 28 to 36, and then weekly until delivery. At each visit, the healthcare provider will check the baby's heartbeat and growth, and assess the mother's overall health.
