Empowering Your Journey into Motherhood

- Are you looking for clear, compassionate trimester scan scheduling and fetal health tracking?
- Do you desire proactive maternal nutrition, thyroid balancing, and normal birth counseling?
Pregnancy is a miraculous, transformative journey that requires proactive medical vigilance, empathetic emotional support, and scientific clinical care. Antenatal (Prenatal) Care ensures both the mother and developing baby thrive across all 40 weeks of gestation.
Dr. Manisha Kumari offers end-to-end pregnancy care—combining early anomaly screenings, in-house sonography, gestational diabetes monitoring, and birth preparation across Dumduma Clinic and IMS & SUM Hospital.
- First Trimester (Weeks 1 to 13): Early viability scan, confirmation of intrauterine gestational sac, maternal blood typing, hemoglobin, thyroid, viral markers, and 11–13 week NT/NB genetic screening scan.
- Second Trimester (Weeks 14 to 27): 18–20 week TIFFA (Targeted Imaging for Fetal Anomalies) scan, cervical length assessment, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT for gestational diabetes), and tetanus/diphtheria immunization.
- Third Trimester (Weeks 28 to 36): Fortnightly visits, fetal growth and color Doppler scans, amniotic fluid index (AFI) checks, maternal hemoglobin booster, and pelvic assessment for normal delivery.
- Term & Delivery (Weeks 37 to 40): Weekly non-stress tests (NST), fetal position confirmation, birth plan review, and round-the-clock labor admission support at IMS & SUM Hospital.
Personalized guidance available at every appointment to discuss labor signs, hospital bag prep, and newborn feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding pregnancy checkup frequency, scans, and diet.
In a routine pregnancy, checkups are scheduled once a month up to 28 weeks, then every 2 weeks from weeks 28 to 36, and weekly from week 36 until delivery. If any high-risk factors exist (such as diabetes or hypertension), more frequent monitoring is recommended.
A standard pregnancy includes 4 essential scans: (1) Early Viability Dating Scan (6–8 weeks), (2) NT/NB Aneuploidy Scan (11–13.6 weeks), (3) TIFFA Anomaly Scan (18–20 weeks), and (4) Fetal Growth & Color Doppler Scan (28–32 weeks). Additional scans may be performed if amniotic fluid or fetal growth requires close observation.
Folic acid (5 mg) is mandatory in the first trimester to prevent neural tube defects. From the second trimester onward, personalized doses of Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D3, and Omega-3 DHA are prescribed based on routine blood reports.
You must seek immediate emergency medical care if you experience: vaginal bleeding or leaking of fluid, persistent severe headache with blurred vision, sudden swelling of face/hands, severe lower abdominal pain, high fever, or a noticeable decrease in fetal movements (after 26 weeks).
