What is Pregnancy Monitoring?
Pregnancy follow-up includes regular checks to monitor the health of the expectant mother and the baby and to ensure that the pregnancy goes smoothly. In this process, the health status of the mother and the development of the baby are carefully monitored. High-risk pregnancy follow-up involves close monitoring of existing risks to the mother or baby and necessary interventions.
How is it done?
At Metropol Health Group, pregnancy follow-up is carried out by specialized doctors and advanced technology. The follow-up process includes the following steps:
- Regular Check-ups: The mother’s health indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar and weight gain are monitored regularly.
- Ultrasonography: The baby’s development, the condition of its organs and its general health are assessed.
- Blood Tests Blood tests are done regularly to detect conditions such as iron deficiency, infection or blood incompatibility.
- Genetic Tests: If necessary, tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy are used to evaluate the baby’s genetic makeup.
- Perinatologist Follow-up: In high-risk pregnancies, a special monitoring program is applied and mother-baby health is kept under constant control.
In Which Situations?
Pregnancy follow-up is recommended for all expectant mothers. However, high-risk situations require more careful follow-up. These conditions are as follows:
- The expectant mother has chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure
- Complications such as miscarriage, premature birth in previous pregnancies
- Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.)
- Mother’s age is under 18 or over 35
