Keeping track of prescribed medications and supplements ensures proper adherence and safeguards against potential interactions. Additionally, documenting doctor visits, including prenatal check-ups and ultrasound examinations, helps ensure all vital information is readily available for healthcare providers, fostering a collaborative and informed approach to pregnancy care.
