<![CDATA[Antenatal care aims to see how the fetus grows and develops and aims to improve the welfare of the mother and fetus. WHO's efforts to reduce the number of high-risk pregnancies include routine examinations for all pregnant women, as well as follow-up examinations for mothers with moderate comorbidities and complications, obstetric and neonatal examinations for women with severe comorbidities and complications. Yeoh et al, (2016) stated that as many as 26% of women with high-risk pregnancies never had an Antenatal Care examination or visit. while 80% of pregnant women experience no complications, and carry out regular Antenatal Care visits according to the recommended re-visit schedule. Pregnant women who do not regularly carry out prenatal checks will have a risk of experiencing pregnancy complications such as chorioamnionitis, placental abruption and a 10x greater risk of giving birth to a baby with a low birth weight, a 12x greater risk of fetal death and a 10x greater risk of maternal death]]>
