Obstetrics

Those women who are planning to become pregnant can begin to prepare their health for pregnancy. Receiving medical care during planning and pregnancy allows you to monitor the health of the mother and the baby to prevent or detect possible complications in time.

The first trimester ultrasound is one that is performed in the 11/14 week of pregnancy.Its objective is to identify the number of fetuses (single or multiple gestation), their vitality (heart beat) and their size (by means of the cranio-caudal length ). During this ultrasound, a series of parameters are determined that determine a certain risk for Down syndrome and other chromosomal pathologies, such as nuchal translucency, nasal bone or fetal blood flow.

Selective ultrasound is one that is performed in week 20 of pregnancy, the equator of pregnancy. In this test, the baby’s anatomy can be seen in detail, thus ruling out possible fetal malformations or abnormalities.

• Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis is done during pregnancy to detect birth defects, genetic problems, or infections in the fetus. To carry it out, a sample of the fluid is extracted from the sac that surrounds the baby in the uterus, which will later be analyzed. This test is also performed for other purposes such as checking the fetal lung development and removing excess fluid around the baby.

• 5D ultrasound

5D ultrasound is the latest advancement in pregnancy imaging. This allows us to see the baby in real time by capturing three-dimensional images. In addition, it offers us clearer images, with higher resolution and, therefore, obtaining a clearer view of the baby’s body and face.

• Doppler ultrasound

This ultrasound allows us to see the soft organs of the body. In the specific case of pregnant women, Doppler ultrasound is the test that allows to check the state of the heart valves and the walls of the heart. The amount of blood that the baby’s heart is pumping is also analyzed with this ultrasound.

After the baby is born, the mother needs to recover from the anatomical and functional changes that occurred during pregnancy, so it will be necessary to follow medical recommendations.

In addition, changes in social relationships may require psychological attention in some cases. Postpartum recovery is aimed at all those women who want to recover in the most adequate way possible without hurting their body both internally and externally. It is aimed at achieving, among others, the following objectives:

• Strengthen and tone the abdominal muscles.
• Improve the muscles of the pelvis and pelvic floor.
• Strengthen the lumbar muscles.
• Reduce, firm and tone the body of women.

To all this is added the very important role that this recovery plays in the mother’s self-esteem.
