What is filled during the first antenatal visit?

During the first antenatal visit, the focus is on the mother’s health and ensuring that she receives the appropriate care throughout her pregnancy. The home-based mother's record is specifically designed to document crucial information regarding the mother’s health, medical history, and the progress of her pregnancy. This record serves as a vital tool for healthcare providers to monitor the mother's health and any potential risks to both her and the baby throughout the antenatal period.

The contents of the home-based mother's record typically include personal details, past obstetric history, current medical issues, and scheduled visits, which enables continuous and structured care. This record is essential for accurate tracking and communication between the mother and healthcare professionals.

Other options, such as the mother's health evaluation form, focus on specific aspects of the mother's health rather than providing a comprehensive and ongoing record. The child's vaccination record is more relevant after the child is born, and the family planning assessment, while important, does not take precedence during the first antenatal visit where the mother's health is being specifically evaluated.
