Comprehensive care to monitor your health and baby's development throughout pregnancy.
Antenatal care refers to the medical care provided to women during pregnancy to ensure both the mother and baby remain healthy. Regular check-ups, screenings, and tests are performed to monitor the health of both mother and baby, detect potential complications early, and provide guidance on lifestyle and nutritional habits. At Shai Raksha, our expert obstetricians and healthcare team are dedicated to providing personalized care throughout your pregnancy, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Antenatal care is essential for maintaining the health of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy. Regular visits help monitor development, manage risks, and provide guidance for a safe delivery. It also creates an opportunity to build trust with healthcare providers and ask important questions. Early interventions through antenatal care significantly improve pregnancy outcomes.
We believe every pregnancy is a beautiful journey—one that deserves careful monitoring, advanced diagnostics, and gentle reassurance. To ensure the health, safety, and development of your baby, we follow a structured timeline of five essential scans. Each scan is a window into your baby’s world, offering vital insights and helping you bond even before birth.
The dating scan is the first glimpse of your baby—a moment filled with emotion and excitement. This early ultrasound helps confirm the pregnancy, determine the due date, and check for a heartbeat. It also ensures the embryo is developing inside the uterus and rules out ectopic pregnancy.
Also known as the mid-pregnancy scan, the anomaly scan assesses your baby’s anatomy in detail—head, heart, spine, limbs, and internal organs. It detects any structural abnormalities, checks the placenta position, and monitors amniotic fluid levels.
As your baby grows, it’s important to monitor their size, movements, and overall health. The growth scan with Doppler evaluates fetal growth, amniotic fluid levels, and blood flow between the baby and placenta. This scan helps detect any growth restrictions or issues with placental function—critical for making timely decisions and planning delivery if needed.
The Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan is a critical screening tool that evaluates the risk of chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome. Conducted between 11 and 13 weeks, this scan measures the clear space at the back of the baby’s neck and is often paired with blood tests for a more complete risk assessment.
The term scan is the final checkpoint before delivery. It assesses the baby’s position, head engagement, placental location, and fluid levels. This scan plays a vital role in planning the mode of delivery—vaginal birth or C-section—and prepares the healthcare team to handle any last-minute changes.
Monitor maternal and fetal health, track vital signs, and assess pregnancy progression. These visits help prevent complications and ensure timely interventions.

Pregnancy is a transformative journey that requires ongoing medical and emotional support to ensure the health and well-being of both mother and baby. Comprehensive antenatal care provides regular assessments, expert guidance, and timely interventions to address any concerns that may arise throughout the pregnancy.
Regular monitoring of vital parameters such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight helps detect early signs of complications like gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. These checks are essential to ensure both maternal and fetal health remain on track throughout the pregnancy.
Routine ultrasounds and prenatal screenings are used to track the baby’s development, heartbeat, position, and overall growth. Early identification of any anomalies allows for immediate medical action and better birth planning.
Emotional support is crucial during pregnancy to help manage mood swings, anxiety, and stress. Counseling, reassurance, and open communication contribute to a healthier and more confident pregnancy experience.
