Study Notes
Antenatal Care Overview
- Antenatal care aims to monitor and promote maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy.
- Key objectives include early detection of problems, health education, and preparation for childbirth.
First Antenatal Visit
- The first visit is typically scheduled within the first trimester, around 8 to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
- Comprehensive history-taking includes medical, obstetric, and family histories.
Investigations During First Visit
- Recommended initial investigations generally include blood tests, urine tests, and infectious disease screening (such as HIV and hepatitis).
- Not all investigations are required; some may be excluded based on specific clinical judgement.
Counseling Topics
- Common counseling topics during high-risk pregnancies include dietary modifications, prenatal vitamin intake, and monitoring for complications.
- Certain topics may not be recommended depending on individual risk factors, such as specific lifestyle choices or unrelated health issues.
Recommended Dosages of Supplements
- Folic acid dosage recommendation is typically 400 to 800 micrograms daily during preconception and up to 16 weeks of pregnancy.
- Iron supplementation in pregnant women is generally recommended at around 30-60 mg of elemental iron per day to prevent anemia.
Tetanus Toxoid Administration
- Tetanus Toxoid/Td vaccine is administered preferably during the second trimester, but can also be given after the first 20 weeks.
- Proper timing is crucial for effective immunization of both mother and newborn.
Growth Scan Timing
- A growth scan is recommended around 28 weeks of gestation to assess fetal growth and well-being.
Investigations in Further Visits
- Continued prenatal visits often include monitoring blood pressure, weight, fetal heart rate, and additional lab tests when necessary.
- Certain investigations may be excluded in follow-up visits based on the clinical condition of the mother and fetus.
High-Risk Pregnancy Management
- A tailored approach is necessary; specific investigations and counseling topics may be adjusted based on previous pregnancy outcomes and any existing medical conditions.
- Continuous assessment and intervention strategies are emphasized to mitigate risks throughout the pregnancy journey.
