When should I have my first antenatal visit?

Ideally within the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. Early care is important for folic acid supplementation, blood tests, and dating ultrasound.

How many ultrasounds are done in a normal pregnancy?

Typically 3 routine ultrasounds: at 8–10 weeks (dating), 11–13 weeks (NT scan), and 18–20 weeks (anomaly scan). Additional scans may be done in high-risk pregnancies.

What is the difference between a normal delivery and a C-section?

Normal (vaginal) delivery is the natural process. A C-section is a surgical delivery indicated when vaginal delivery poses risk to mother or baby.
