prenatal care
Expecting mother's medicine
Prenatal care is the medical attention a woman receives during pregnancy, including regular checkups, screenings, and guidance to monitor the health of both mother and fetus.
Good prenatal care reduces risks of complications: She started prenatal care as soon as she learned she was pregnant.
The term also appears as an adjective: prenatal care visits, prenatal care provider.
