Skipping prenatal visits can increase the risk of serious complications for both mother and baby, as many conditions develop silently without noticeable symptoms. Regular antenatal check-ups help monitor fetal growth, detect infections, and identify problems such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and developmental concerns at an early stage. Missing these visits may delay diagnosis, increasing the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and preventable complications. Timely prenatal care ensures proper monitoring, guidance, and safe pregnancy outcomes. Dr Shweta Wazir, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Motherhood Hospital, Gurgaon, emphasizes that regular prenatal visits are essential to protect both maternal and fetal health and ensure a healthy delivery.
