Prenatal care refers to the medical care recommended for women before and during
pregnancy. The aim of good prenatal care is to detect any potential problems early, to prevent them if possible (through recommendations on adequate nutrition, exercise, vitamin intake etc), and to direct the woman to appropriate specialists, hospitals, etc. if necessary. The availability of routine prenatal care has played a part in reducing
maternal death rates and
miscarriages as well as
birth defects,
low birth weight, and other preventable infant problems in the
developed world.
