Antepartum care includes initial and subsequent history, physical exams, recording of weight, blood pressure, fetal heart tones, routine chemical (dipstick) urinalysis, monthly visits up to 28 weeks gestation, biweekly visits between 28 and 36 weeks, and weekly visits until delivery.
Antepartum testing is performed after 32 weeks of pregnancy so that the couple and the doctor can be warned of any problems that may necessitate further testing or immediate delivery. The results reflect the adequacy of blood flow (and oxygen delivery) to the fetus from the placenta.
