How to Review Pregnancy History?

Pregnancy history is especially useful when managing a new pregnancy, verifying details from past pregnancies, or reviewing the patient’s full obstetric timeline before planning care.

Accessing the Pregnancy History

• Open the Pregnancies tab.

• Pregnancy history is shown when the patient has at least one finalized pregnancy record.

💡Notes

If the patient has an active pregnancy, the Pregnancy tab also opens the pregnancy subtabs.

• Each row represents one pregnancy record. The table is designed as a summary view, with the option to open the full pregnancy record when more detail is needed.
• The pregnancy history displays the following columns:

• Start Date – the date the pregnancy started, based on Last Menstrual Period (LMP).
• End Date – the pregnancy completion date. (Shows the pregnancy end date for completed pregnancies and the expected due date for ongoing ones)
• Delivery Type – mode of delivery if applicable (Vaginal Spontaneous, Vaginal Assisted, Emergency C-section, Elective C-section)
• Fetuses – number of children resulting from the pregnancy.
• Status – outcome or current pregnancy state, highlighted with color-coding: Ongoing (green), Live Birth (blue), Stillbirth (orange), Abortion (red), Miscarriage (red).

💡Notes

For multiple pregnancies, different fetal outcomes may occur. LinkHMS reflects this by displaying separate statuses in the Status field.

• These columns can provide a quick clinical picture before opening full details.

Opening the Pregnancy Record

• Each row includes an action icon that opens the detailed pregnancy record.

• Open an ongoing pregnancy to continue adding and managing records. Find other detailed guides for the Antenatal Care Module.

💡Notes

If the patient has no active pregnancy, the Pregnancy tab displays an Add Pregnancy button that lets you add a new pregnancy.

• Select the completed pregnancy to view the available record as a complete timeline.

Reviewing the Complete Pregnancy Record

💡Notes

Use the pregnancy history at the start of pregnancy-related encounters to understand past outcomes, and check per-fetus details for multiple pregnancies with mixed statuses.

• Open a finalized pregnancy record to review all information recorded during the previous pregnancy.
• Pregnancy Info – Contains key details about the pregnancy.

• Mother Check Up –  Includes maternal assessments and vital measurements recorded during visits.

• Ultrasound – Provides ultrasound measurements, observations, and attachments for the mother and fetuses.

• Finalize Pregnancy – Contains finalized pregnancy outcome records.

• Switch between the subtabs to review the necessary records.

• Use the Print Pregnancy Outcome button in the Finalize Pregnancy subtab to print the full report.

• Pregnancy History helps clinicians review prior pregnancy outcomes, verify important details, and understand the full obstetric timeline when planning care.
