Pregnancy management and prenatal care

Pregnancy is a natural stage of life in which appropriate medical care helps protect the health of the mother and baby. The obstetricians and midwives at Tartaczna 2 Medical Centre in Gdańsk explain what to expect, advise on lifestyle and help if problems arise.

Our doctors and midwives work as a team, drawing on many years of experience in pregnancy care.

Do I need prenatal care even if I feel well?

Yes. Prenatal care includes advice on nutrition, physical activity, rest and emotional wellbeing. Weight and blood pressure checks, blood and urine tests, and assessments of fetal development help monitor health throughout pregnancy.

Some conditions may cause no obvious symptoms for a long time. For example, timely diagnosis of gestational diabetes allows treatment to begin and helps reduce the risk of complications.

What happens at pregnancy appointments?

The first appointment includes confirming the pregnancy, reviewing your general health and estimating your due date. Depending on your situation, the doctor performs a gynaecological examination, assesses the cervix and vagina, and recommends cervical screening, ultrasound and laboratory tests. Breast ultrasound is also discussed.

Your gynaecologist explains the available prenatal genetic screening tests, their purpose and the next steps after a positive result. Screening assesses risk; further diagnostic tests may be needed to confirm a diagnosis.

How often will I have appointments?

During the first 28 weeks, appointments are usually planned roughly once a month. Checks include weight gain, blood pressure, uterine growth, urine results and the baby's heartbeat. Additional tests are arranged when indicated.

From 34 weeks, appointments may take place every two weeks, becoming weekly closer to birth. Your doctor sets the exact schedule according to the course of your pregnancy and your individual needs.

At Tartaczna 2 Medical Centre, you can receive comprehensive care and support as you prepare for birth.
