General pregnancy care is done through the following assessments:
- Medical checkups – Prenatal screening and diagnosis like ultrasound
- Consultations – recommendations on managing a healthy lifestyle
- Advice and information – provision of medical information such as maternal physiological and biological changes during pregnancy
- Additional nutrition – Dr. Mustafa suggests prenatal vitamins to cover any deficiency in the mother and child to prevent potential health problems.
