Pregnancy is a blessing that every woman goes through at least once during her lifetime. However, there are many myths associated with it that make our new mothers-to-be confused and anxious in terms of their own as well as their baby’s health. Here, I shall discuss a few routine measures pregnant women can take to ensure a healthy and uneventful pregnancy journey.
During pregnancy, routinely, patients are advised to do a few blood investigations to ensure optimum maternal health and a few detailed ultrasound scans to ensure a healthy baby. We generally advise patients to do the following blood tests:
Performing these tests on pregnant women enables us to pick up any problems early on in pregnancy and provide the necessary treatment at the earliest, thus avoiding adverse consequences for both the mother and the baby.

"A pregnant woman's daily routine should include: • Simple walks of about 30 to 45 minutes a day (split into 15 minutes after each meal during the day). • Taking small, frequent meals (5-6 times) during the day. • Drinking at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water daily. • Taking plenty of fluids, such as lassi, nimbu paani, smoothies, warm drinks, and soups, depending on the weather. • Eating five different seasonal fruits during the day. • Taking a fistful of nuts, like almonds and walnuts (soak them overnight and eat them in the morning). • Including milk, yoghurt, paneer, tofu, sprouts, salads, soups, and makhanas in the diet. • Taking medication as prescribed: Tab. Folic acid 5 mg once daily after dinner, and Tab. Doxinate as needed for nausea/vomiting."
The golden rule for every pregnant woman is to enter the pregnancy journey with a healthy body and mind, start taking folic acid at least 3 months before planning pregnancy, choose a gynaecologist wisely, have all recommended blood tests and scans, and choose a well-equipped hospital for delivery.
