Midwifery basics. Antenatal care--health in pregnancy.

Joanna is now 20 weeks pregnant. She has been well, although rather nauseous at times, but this is now less frequent. Her abdomen is beginning to expand, but she is at a stage where it isn't obvious that she is pregnant, and she just feels fat. She has felt the tiniest flicker of what she thinks are fetal movements, but is not quite sure. Louis, her partner, can not feel anything and finds it all rather hard to conceptualise.

Antenatal care--antenatal screening for fetal abnormality.

JOANNA IS NOW 24 WEEKS pregnant. She is feeling very well and finding that now her energy has returned, she is really enjoying being preganant. She still proudly shows her precious scan picture to interested friends and takes the occasional glance herself during quiet moments. Joanna, has a cousin, Susan, who has Down's syndrome. Susan is a happy and loving child who has brought a lot of joy, as well as heartache, to the extended family. Although Joanna has no delusions about the hard work and continuing care that her cousin requires, she would not herself contemplate terminating a pregnancy if her baby had the condition.
