“Prenatal” and “antenatal” refer to the same concept of care before birth, with “antenatal” being the term more commonly used in some regions.
Antenatal care focuses on monitoring pregnancy, while postnatal care supports the mother’s recovery and the baby’s health after birth.
Antenatal care typically includes routine check-ups, screenings, health education, and lifestyle guidance throughout pregnancy.
Antenatal care involves regular check-ups and assessments during pregnancy to monitor the health of both mother and fetus.
