Preferred term
prenatal care
Definition
- Prenatal care, also called antenatal care, refers to medical treatment of pregnant women. Though pregnancy is a normal female physiological process, rather than an illness or disease, it still introduces physical risks to the mother and the fetus; therefore, prenatal care's primary emphasis is on reducing and/or eliminating known threats to maternal and infant health.
