Pregnancy is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful and big events in a woman’s life, creating emotional, physical, and medical experiences every step of the way that require careful attention and life-long knowledge and expertise. Maternal care plays a critical role to ensure both mother and growing infant are healthy and safe through all stages of their pregnancy.

Orthomed Hospital, one of the most reputable multi-specialty hospitals in Chennai, offers complete and compassionate pregnancy care, by specialists who will be there for mothers to be, from their first visit for prenatal care, until their recovery after delivery. Maternal care means walking with women on this beautiful journey into motherhood – safely, comfortably and confidently.

1. What is Maternal Care?

Maternal care includes all the physical and health services to women who are pregnant, after they give birth to their infant, or they will parent an infant within the six to 12 months following delivery. A few of the outlined objectives for maternal care, although there exist many more, are as follows:

• Vigilant oversight of the well-being of mother and baby.
• Knowledge and information paired with prompt recognition and management of complications.
• Education and emotional support.
• Assurance of a safe delivery, including a healthy recovery period post-partum.

Good maternal care includes evidence-based medical interventions—with an unparalleled and much needed, emotional subtext—so women in our care may have a safe journey, while also being emotionally supported, in their pregnancy.

2. The Importance of Prenatal Care in Pregnancy

Prenatal care is the foundation of healthy maternity care. Regular prenatal check-ups and screening during pregnancy helps to identify possible health issues quickly so there are opportunities for intervention and better outcomes for mom and baby.

Some of the major benefits of consistent prenatal visits include:

• Tracking of baby’s growth and development with ultrasound and diagnostic scans.
• Tracking of maternal health – blood pressure, sugars, nutrition.
• Avoidance of complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and anemia.
• Provision of vaccinations and supplements that facilitate fetal and maternal health.
• Provision of guidance regarding items such as diet, exercise, and stress management which can help improve overall health for both mother and baby.

Here at Orthomed, prenatal appointments are for the reassurance, medical safety, and emotional confidence of every mother-to-be.

3. Holistic Support During Pregnancy

Ladies’ wellbeing (both physically and emotionally) are experts in a significant period of transition in pregnancy. Holistic pregnancy care guarantees the woman gets the medical care that she requires, as well as emotional support during each of the three trimesters.

Here’s how maternal care supports each phase:

First Trimester: early scans, nutritional advice, and lifestyle adjustments.

Second Trimester: support in monitoring fetal growth, managing hormonal changes and preventative care.

Third Trimester: preparation for delivery, monitoring weight, and monitoring mother’s state of mind.

This patient support model not only supports mothers during the process of physical delivery, but also prepares them mentally for what is next.

4. Safe Delivery and Motherhood

The experience of pregnancy is incomplete, until a safe delivery takes place. As mothers-to-be, the experienced maternity staff works with you to make sure delivery meets your expectations.

The facilities include:

• Current maternity facilities for a comfortable and secure delivery experience.
• Obstetricians, anaesthetists, and neonatal specialists are available around the clock to monitor delivery of the newborn and the wellbeing to the mother.
• New facilities for C-section and high-risk deliveries.

Facilitated by skilled maternity providers, postnatal care is provided post-delivery to support both recovery, support with breastfeeding, emotional and mental health, and education for family, allowing a smooth transition for mother and baby to the next phase of life.
