Pregnancy is a beautiful and life-changing experience. It is also a time that requires careful monitoring, professional guidance, and compassionate support. At Tranquil and Quest Specialist Hospital (TQSH) in Lekki, Lagos, our antenatal care services are designed to support you from the early weeks of pregnancy through safe delivery and postnatal recovery.

Whether you are expecting your first baby or adding to your family, expert antenatal care plays a vital role in ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby.

What Is Antenatal Care?

Antenatal care (also known as prenatal care) refers to the routine medical checkups and support a woman receives during pregnancy. These visits help monitor your baby’s growth and development while also safeguarding your health.

Regular antenatal visits allow doctors to:

• Track fetal growth and heartbeat
• Monitor blood pressure and weight
• Detect and manage pregnancy-related conditions
• Provide nutritional and lifestyle guidance
• Prepare you for labour and delivery

Early and consistent care significantly reduces pregnancy complications and improves outcomes for both mother and child.

Why Antenatal Care Is Important

Pregnancy brings many changes to your body. While most pregnancies progress normally, some may develop complications such as:

• Gestational diabetes
• High blood pressure (preeclampsia)
• Anaemia
• Infections
• Preterm labour

Routine antenatal appointments help identify these issues early so they can be properly managed.

Beyond medical monitoring, antenatal care also provides emotional reassurance. Pregnancy can come with questions, anxieties, and uncertainties. Having a trusted healthcare team by your side makes all the difference.

When Should You Start Antenatal Care?

Ideally, antenatal care should begin as soon as you confirm you are pregnant, typically within the first 8–10 weeks. Early booking allows for timely screenings and better pregnancy planning.

Throughout pregnancy:

• First trimester: Monthly visits
• Second trimester: Monthly visits
• Third trimester: More frequent visits as delivery approaches

Your doctor may adjust this schedule based on your specific needs.
