Prenatal care is the healthcare that a woman receives during pregnancy. The goal of prenatal care is to monitor the health of the mother and the baby, and to identify and treat any potential problems as early as possible. Prenatal care typically includes regular check-ups, where the mother’s weight, blood pressure, and baby’s growth are monitored. It may also include laboratory tests, such as blood tests and ultrasound exams.
Postnatal care is the healthcare that a woman receives after giving birth. The goal of postnatal care is to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of the mother and the baby. Postnatal care typically includes check-ups to monitor the mother’s recovery and the baby’s development, as well as support and education on infant care.
