Why Antenatal Care?
Pregnancy brings a whole lot of changes to your whole body and there are lots of things you should and should not do, best foods to eat and things to avoid, and medications you should not take for the period. You will need expert medical knowledge to go through this phase successfully.
As every child is unique so is every pregnancy. You must register for antenatal for every pregnancy.
