3 Things Every Pregnant Woman Must Know

Maintain Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D Levels

During pregnancy, iron is crucial for preventing anaemia, while calcium supports the baby’s bone development. Vitamin D is equally essential for both the mother and baby’s overall health. Regular checkups and a nutrient-rich diet ensure these levels are maintained.

The Importance of Level II Scan

A Level II scan, performed between 18-22 weeks of pregnancy, helps detect congenital anomalies in the baby. This scan provides detailed insights into the baby’s development, ensuring early detection of any abnormalities. Consulting a gynaecologist for timely screening is crucial.

Tetanus Vaccination and Regular Health Monitoring

Expecting mothers must get their tetanus shots as advised by their doctor. Additionally, monitoring blood pressure, sugar levels and thyroid function is vital to avoid complications like gestational diabetes or hypertension. Keeping these in check ensures a safer pregnancy.

Following these three expert-backed tips can help expecting mothers enjoy a healthier pregnancy journey. Always consult a qualified gynaecologist for personalised guidance.
