Find your estimated due date, track gestational progress, and discover week-by-week development milestones with African health guidelines.
Antenatal Care Frequency: WHO recommends at least 8 antenatal contacts. First trimester: minimum 1 visit. Second trimester: minimum 1 visit. Third trimester: minimum 2 visits before 36 weeks, then weekly until delivery.
Iron & Folate Supplementation: Start folic acid (400 mcg) from conception through first trimester. Continue iron supplementation (30-60 mg) throughout pregnancy to prevent anaemia, especially in sub-Saharan Africa where prevalence is high.
Malaria Prevention: In malaria-endemic regions, pregnant women should use insecticide-treated bed nets and receive intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine.
Facility-Based Delivery: Plan delivery at a healthcare facility with emergency obstetric care capabilities. In many African settings, attending a skilled birth attendant reduces maternal and infant mortality risks significantly.
Family-health tools should turn dates, costs, growth, feeding, and vaccine questions into safer preparation for antenatal, paediatric, and community health visits.
