Maternity
Maternity care is a vital part of ensuring the well-being of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy. From prenatal care to delivery and postpartum recovery, comprehensive maternity services are crucial for a healthy pregnancy experience. At Punam Surgical and Maternity Hospital, led by the experienced Dr. Punam Dixit, we provide exceptional maternity care, with personalized attention and the latest medical technologies to ensure the best possible outcome for both mother and child.
What is Maternity Care?
Maternity care refers to the medical care provided to a woman during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. It includes a variety of healthcare services aimed at monitoring the health of both the mother and the baby. These services range from obstetrical ultrasound, genetic testing, and gynecological exams, to labor and delivery support and post-birth recovery. Comprehensive maternity care is critical to identify any potential risks, address complications, and ensure a positive pregnancy experience.
The Importance of Maternity Care
Proper maternity care is essential for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. Regular check-ups and medical screenings can help detect any complications early, reducing risks for both the mother and the baby. Here’s why maternity care is crucial:
1. Monitoring Fetal Development
Routine check-ups, including obstetrical ultrasound and other diagnostic tests, are essential for monitoring the growth and development of the baby. These tests provide valuable information about the baby’s health, position, and development, allowing doctors to address potential concerns.
2. Ensuring Maternal Health
Maternity care focuses on ensuring the mother’s health throughout pregnancy. Regular visits allow healthcare providers to monitor the mother’s physical condition, manage symptoms, and screen for common complications such as gestational diabetes or hypertension.
3. Preventing Complications
Early detection of complications such as pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or issues with the placenta can significantly reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery. With proper care, many complications can be managed effectively.
4. Providing Emotional Support
Pregnancy can be an emotional journey, and comprehensive maternity care involves providing emotional support alongside medical care. At Punam Surgical and Maternity Hospital, we understand the psychological aspects of pregnancy and offer counseling and support to expectant mothers.

1. Prenatal Care
Prenatal care is essential from the moment you find out you’re pregnant. Early and regular visits to the healthcare provider ensure that the pregnancy is progressing well. Key aspects of prenatal care include:
- Routine check-ups to monitor the health of both mother and baby.
- Obstetrical ultrasound to monitor fetal growth and detect any abnormalities.
