According to WHO guidelines, number of checkups/antenatal visits for a woman having normal uncomplicated pregnancy is: September 2009

Ans. C: 14 Ideally the mother should attend the antenatal clinic once a month during the first 7 months (7 visits), twice a month in the 8th month (2 visits) and every week in the last month (4 visits), so it becomes a total of 13 visits, if everything is normal. At least 3 visits covering the entire period of pregnancy should be the target.
