Pregnancy care

During pregnancy, a woman’s health and the fetus’s development change continuously, so the scope and frequency of examinations depend on the stage of pregnancy. At each stage, the doctor monitors the indicators that are most relevant to that particular period.

It is not only whether results fall within the normal range that matters, but also how they change over time. Blood pressure, hemoglobin levels, weight, and laboratory test results are assessed together and compared with previous results. This helps identify potentially concerning changes at an early stage.

Ultrasound examinations also have different purposes depending on the stage of pregnancy. The doctor assesses the fetus’s growth and anatomical structures, the placenta, the amount of amniotic fluid, and other important parameters. Combined with clinical examinations and laboratory tests, ultrasound provides an objective assessment of how the pregnancy is progressing.
