What checks are done at antenatal and postnatal clinics?

At antenatal clinics, checks typically include monitoring the mother's blood pressure, weight, and urine for signs of complications, as well as conducting ultrasounds and blood tests to assess the baby's development and screen for conditions like gestational Diabetes. Postnatal clinics focus on the mother’s recovery, checking for any complications, and assessing the baby's growth, feeding, and overall health. Both settings provide education on newborn care and maternal health. Additionally, mental health screenings may be conducted to support the mother's emotional well-being.
