ABSTRACT
Pre natal management system is used to track those information that exist or happening during pregnancy but before childbirth. Effective and appropriate antenatal care should be offered to all pregnant women. However, different countries offer different sets of routine ANC, which are hardly based on explicit effectiveness criteria, being mainly linked with long-term tradition or other inexplicit criteria. Some interventions still provided to women with normal pregnancies are not effective, and many of them have not been evaluated. These interventions should be eliminated from basic health care packages, and more research is needed on those interventions of unknown effectiveness. This project is written to help hospitals especially Park lane hospital Enugu in the areas they encounter problems in keeping their pre natal information for pregnant woman and the solution given to tackle those problem. This is implemented with visual basic programming language and Microsoft Access for effective pre natal information for pregnant woman information keeping.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Pre natal management system is used by the
hospital to create, process and record their pre natal information for pregnant
woman information. This system is used to
calculate the pregnant woman punctuate to check up and treatment. It is
an effective tool in the hand of the hospital management.
The aim of Antenatal
care (ANC) is to assist
women to remain healthy, finding and correcting adverse conditions when
present, and thus aid the health of the unborn
ANC should also provide support and guidance to the woman and her
partner or family, to help them in their transition to parenthood.
This implies that both health care and health education are required from health
services. This broad definition of ANC is endorsed by national labour laws (4)
and by evidence-based clinical guideline. Moreover, it introduces the needed holistic
approach (biological care
and concern with intellectual, emotional, social and cultural needs of women,
babies and families) (2) during pregnancy. Care during pregnancy should enable a woman to make informed
decisions, based on her needs, after discussing matters fully with the
professionals involved. Any interventions offered in the antenatal period should be of
proven effectiveness and be acceptable to the recipients. Both the individual components
and the full package of ANC should conform to these criteria.
The aim of computer based pre natal
information is to promote early intervention by the hospital and, when
necessary. The approach aims to ensure that rapid and appropriate action is
taken to tackle absence problems as soon as they become apparent.
The nine months of prenatal development
are usually divided into three stages. These are the germinal period, the
embryonic period, and the fetal period.
During the germinal period, which
lasts from conception until day 14, the fertilized egg, called a zygote,
undergoes rapid cell division and growth. At the same time, its cells begin to
differentiate and cluster to assume specialized roles. For example, some cells
begin to form the support structures of the placenta, which will provide food
and oxygen to the fetus, while others begin to form structures of the
developing human. Another significant achievement of the germinal stage is
implantation of the cell mass, now called the blastocyst, into the inner
wall of the mother’s uterus, where it will remain for the duration of prenatal
development. Implantation also triggers hormonal changes in the mother’s body
that enables it to nurture the developing human
. The embryonic period lasts
from day 14 through the eighth week. During this time, major structures and
organ systems begin to form. During the fourth week, for example, the brain
begins to develop, a primitive heart starts to beat, and the eyes, ears, and
mouth begin to form. By eight weeks after conception, the embryo has most of
its basic organ systems, facial features have formed, and even fingers and toes
have appeared. See Embryology.
During the fetal period,
from the ninth week until birth, major organs grow in size and complexity, the
muscular and nervous systems develop, and the sex organs form. By the fourth or
fifth month, mothers can begin to feel the fetus moving within them. The fetus
startles in response to sudden, loud noises outside the womb, and its
hiccupping can be detected. Brain development is dramatic. Nearly all nerve
cells that the brain will use throughout life are formed, and brain regions
become specialized in function. As birth approaches, the fetus grows
significantly in size and adds protective fat stores in preparation for life
outside the womb. See Fetus.
- STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
This
has to do with the title of the project, which is the design, and
implementation of a Pre natal management system for a park lane hospital.
Due to the problem encountered with the pregnant woman attitude to their check up and treatment, the need arise to develop a software that will assist to solve the problem. The problem caused by the use of manual method of keeping pre natal information for pregnant woman can only be solved by computerizing the hospital pre-natal information for pregnant woman.
