Antepartum testing
Antepartum testing refers to medical evaluations performed during pregnancy to monitor the well-being of the unborn baby and the health of the mother. These tests may include ultrasounds, non-stress tests, and biophysical profiles to assess fetal heart rate, movement, and overall condition. Doctors typically recommend antepartum testing for high-risk pregnancies or if there are concerns about the baby's health. The goal is to ensure early detection of any potential issues, allowing for timely interventions to enhance maternal and fetal outcomes.
