Antenatal care from your first positive test through to delivery, at Mamta Women's & Multispeciality Hospital on Aai Mata Road, Parvat Patiya.
A first pregnancy comes with more advice than anyone can use, most of it from people who are not doctors. What you actually need is a schedule, someone who knows your history, and a number you can call when something worries you at 11 at night.
Antenatal care means regular checks through the pregnancy so that anything that needs attention is found early, while there is still time to act. Most pregnancies are straightforward. The point of the visits is to confirm that yours is, and to notice quickly if it stops being so.
Each visit checks your weight and blood pressure, your urine, and from the second half of pregnancy the baby's growth, position and heartbeat. Blood tests and scans happen at particular points rather than at every visit.
The same file follows you from the first visit to the delivery room, so whoever sees you knows your history without you having to repeat it.
Book your first visit once a home test is positive. Early is better, because the dating scan is most accurate in the first three months.
You can transfer care at any stage. Bring your existing card and reports and they will be read before anything is repeated.
A previous cesarean, a previous premature birth, a previous loss, or high blood pressure in an earlier pregnancy all change the plan for this one.
Diabetes, thyroid problems, high blood pressure, anaemia or epilepsy need pregnancy care planned around them from the start.
Any one of these is reason enough to book. You do not need all of them.
History, examination, and a sonography to confirm the pregnancy, check it is in the right place, and date it. Your due date is set here, and everything later is measured against it.
Haemoglobin, blood group, blood sugar, thyroid, and the routine infection screening. These are the tests that change management if they come back abnormal.
Roughly monthly until the seventh month, then every two weeks, then weekly in the last month. More often if something needs watching.
A dating scan early, an anomaly scan at around 18 to 22 weeks, and a growth scan in the third trimester. Extra scans only when there is a reason.
In the last few weeks you and the doctor decide the plan: what is expected, what would change it, when to come in, and what to bring.
You will be seen by one of the hospital's gynecologists. A female doctor is available if you ask for one when you book.
See doctor profilesCall, WhatsApp or send the appointment form. Say what the problem is and whether you would prefer a female doctor.
We confirm a time and tell you what to bring, and whether a scan can be done in the same visit.
After the consultation you leave with a written plan, a follow-up date, and a number to call if something changes.
As soon as a home test is positive, ideally within the first six to eight weeks. The early scan confirms the pregnancy is in the uterus and gives the most accurate due date, and both get harder later.
For an uncomplicated pregnancy, usually eight to ten in total: roughly monthly to the seventh month, fortnightly to the ninth, then weekly. If something needs watching you will be seen more often, and you will be told why.
Yes. Dr. Jagruti Baldaniya sees patients at the hospital and you can ask for a female doctor when you book. Tell the reception when you call and it will be arranged.
Any previous pregnancy records, reports from any test already done, a list of medicines you take, and details of any long-term condition. If you have a mediclaim policy, bring those papers too.
