What Does Antenatal Care Mean?

Antenatal care is the medical support you receive throughout pregnancy. It begins after your pregnancy is confirmed and continues until delivery. The goal is to protect your health and support your baby’s growth and development.

During each antenatal check-up, your obstetrician or midwife monitors your overall health and your baby’s progress. Routine visits may include physical examinations, blood pressure checks, weight monitoring, laboratory tests, and ultrasound scans. These appointments also help identify potential concerns early and ensure you receive the right care at every stage of pregnancy.

What Happens During an Antenatal Examination

An antenatal examination covers a consistent set of checks at every visit, alongside specific investigations at certain stages of pregnancy.

  • Blood pressure measurement, to screen for pre-eclampsia
  • Urine testing, to check for protein and signs of infection
  • Weight and abdominal measurement, to track your baby’s growth
  • Fetal heartbeat check, using a handheld Doppler device
  • Blood tests, to check blood group, iron levels and screen for infections
  • Ultrasound scans, at key points to confirm dates, check anatomy and monitor growth

Antenatal investigations expand around 20 weeks to include a detailed anatomy scan, and again in the third trimester to check your baby’s position, including screening for breech presentation, where the baby sits bottom-first rather than head-down.
