When you are expecting baby, you need to take many critical decisions. Below are three things that you must think about during your pregnancy.
1. Choosing the Right Healthcare Practitioner
Depending on health and type of pregnancy you have, you need to go to a family physician, an obstetrician, perinatologist, or a certified nurse-midwife.
- Obstetrician/Gynecologist: These practitioners specialize in woman’s health; care during pregnancy; labor and baby’s delivery.
- Perinatologist (Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist): They have a special training to handle high risked pregnancies.
- Family Physician: is an M.D., who has studied family practice medicine, which covers treatment of people of all ages and sex and hence can take care of a pregnant woman and deliver a baby.
- Certified Nurse-Midwife: Is a nurse and midwife with appropriate credentials in both areas. These practitioners can take care of pregnant women and are there during labor and delivery.
Whatever type of practitioner you choose to go for, it is equally crucial there is a positive doctor-patient relationship. Your doctor should welcome your queries and concerns giving you satisfactory and acceptable answers. Your relation with him/her should be honest, open, frank, and affable one.
2. Routine Medical Check-Ups
Receiving prenatal care soon after you get pregnant and its continuation throughout your pregnancy is imperative to your and your baby’s health. You will possibly need one checkup every month during trimester. During the first visit, your doctor will take your thorough medical history and details of your lifestyle (e.g. if you smoke, drink or take any illegal drugs and so). This is to evaluate pregnancy risks, if any. Thus, you should give honest answers, even if they are embarrassing.
You will have a thorough physical examination including measurement of your height, weight, blood pressure; an internal pelvic examination; Pap smear for cervical cancer or infections.
You will then be asked to go for certain medical tests, including Rh incompatibility test; blood tests to detect if there is any of these infection: hepatitis B, rubella, syphilis, and HIV; urine tests for detecting diabetes, infections; cervical culture for detecting any traces of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), e.g., Chlamydia and gonorrhea. If you are above 35 years, you will be asked to get a genetic screening test.
Your doctor will discuss the type of diet and supplements you need to take, will talk about the substance you are to abstain from, which may be alcohol, tobacco and caffeine. He/she will also describe the importance of exercise to keep you fit during pregnancy.
If all is well with your health and pregnancy, you need to see your practitioner only once a month during the first 28 weeks. During which, your blood pressure and weight will be measured; your urine will be examined and you will be checked for any swelling or varicose veins.
From 28th week to 36th week, you will be required to see the practitioner once every 15-20 days,
From 36th week until delivery, you need to go to your practitioner every week.
It is to be noted that the above schedule may vary, depending on your doctor and if you have any complications with your pregnancy.
3. Monitoring Baby’s Movements
From second trimester onwards, you can feel your baby’s movements; an arm pushing or punching you, a leg that is passing or kicking you. These movements are at the peak during 28th week, there after slow down because of increase in your baby’s size and there being limited space available for baby’s movements.
Monitoring baby’s movements is a good index of assessing baby’s well being. Sometimes, you may be asked to note down the number of movements felt per hour or doctor may do it himself using hospital facility. Normally there are about 10 movements /hour. However, this number might vary from baby to baby. You need to concern if, all of a sudden, the number of movements greatly reduces than that you usually feel.
