Question 31: Do pregnant women need to attend regular ANC visits?
The conditions of pregnant women (such as the pregnancy week, whether there are special examinations,etc.) should be taken into consideration to determine if the timing of ANC should be adjusted.
For the first and second trimesters, after consultation with obstetricians, ANC visits may be reasonably postponed if the pregnant women have intrauterine pregnancy confirmed, detect no danger signs of vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain and require no specific tests(such as ultrasound scans for birth defects, screening tests for Down syndrome and diabetes, etc.).
lf the pregnant women have pre-existing medical complications or pregnancy related complications, or if you are in the third trimester or detect any danger signs during pregnancy, seek immediate medical attention from a gynecologist or obstetrician via telephone or online platform, and follow their ANC instructions. Make an appointment before attending an ANC visit, protect yourself thoroughly and minimize the time you spend in a health facility.
