During pregnancy, tests are performed on the pregnant woman every trimester, for 3 trimesters.

The first trimester exams vary from country to country. A Pap test and general urine examination, blood tests, etc. are performed. Previous pregnancies are also taken into account and the family, social and medical history is discussed. It is also possible to do an ultrasound examination during the first trimester to calculate the estimated date of delivery.

In the second trimester, the pregnant woman visits the midwife on a monthly basis or more often if deemed necessary. Pregnancy issues such as fatigue, heartburn, varicose veins and other common problems such as back pain will be discussed. The midwife measures the pregnant woman's abdomen to see if the fetus is developing normally. Additional examinations are performed at the demonstration of the midwife, if she deems it necessary.

In the third trimester, the pregnant woman visits the midwife every two weeks until the 36th week. Weight and blood pressure are checked and abdominal measurements are taken. In addition, the uterine abdomen is palpated to determine the position of the fetus.

Midwives are qualified to assist in a normal breech delivery, assist the baby when it is fully born, and cut the umbilical cord unless requested by the father.

For women who gave birth in a maternity ward, the minimum stay for follow-up is 6 hours.

Within the community, the midwife visits the woman until the tenth day. This does not mean that she sees the woman and the infant every day but that she cannot release them from her care until at least the tenth day.

In the modern clinic of Ms. Katsari Sofia, all prescribed examinations are always carried out with validity and respect for the pregnant woman
