What should the standard prenatal visit interval be for the second visit in antenatal registration?

The standard prenatal visit interval for the second visit in antenatal care is typically between 24 to 28 weeks of gestation. This period is crucial for monitoring the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. During this visit, healthcare providers can conduct essential screenings, such as glucose tolerance testing for gestational diabetes, and check for any complications that may arise in the second trimester.

This interval allows for timely assessments and interventions, which are vital for ensuring a healthy pregnancy. Visits at 37-40 weeks are focused on preparing for labor and delivery, rather than regular routine check-ups, and earlier visits such as 16-20 weeks and 29-36 weeks, although important, do not correspond to the standard interval for the second visit in response to antenatal registration.
