Specialist care during pregnancy

Our specialists are dedicated to supporting and caring for you throughout your pregnancy journey, starting from your positive pregnancy test and continuing through labour and the postpartum period.

During the first trimester, your obstetrician will closely monitor your blood count, screen for general antibodies, and conduct tests for specific antigens such as Rubella, Hepatitis B, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted infections. This comprehensive approach ensures that you receive thorough and personalised care right from the beginning.

Prenatal Monitoring

Regular check-ups throughout your pregnancy include monitoring the cervix, placenta, amniotic fluid, and your baby’s health, as well as ensuring adequate levels of vitamins and minerals. These visits also involve routine procedures such as vaginal swabs, monitoring the fetal heartbeat and movements, and conducting necessary blood tests.

Ultrasounds play a crucial role in assessing for conditions like ectopic pregnancy and congenital anomalies, as well as evaluating blood flow in the umbilical cord. Unlike X-Rays, obstetric ultrasounds are radiation-free and completely safe for both the mother and the baby.

Given the increased susceptibility to certain diseases during pregnancy, your obstetrician will closely monitor your health to ensure optimal outcomes for both you and your baby.

Labour And Delivery

Our experienced obstetricians are dedicated to supporting you through labour and delivery with care. We offer tailored birthing plans to accommodate a range of preferences and medical needs.

Rest assured, our team prioritises your comfort, safety, and well-being throughout this transformative journey, ensuring a positive and memorable experience.

Postpartum Care

Your care extends far beyond delivery. Our commitment to you includes comprehensive postpartum support designed to facilitate a smooth transition for both you and your baby as you embark on this new phase of life.

We offer a range of services aimed at nurturing your physical and emotional well-being during this critical period. Our support includes breastfeeding assistance, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable in feeding your newborn.

Additionally, we provide emotional support to address any concerns or challenges you may encounter, helping you navigate the adjustments and joys of early motherhood with reassurance and guidance.

The Procedure

preparing for appointment

Pre-Appointment

During your pregnancy, it is important to schedule prenatal appointments based on your healthcare provider’s recommendations, typically starting monthly and increasing as your due date nears. Before each visit, prepare questions and bring your prenatal record, a urine sample if requested, and any medications or supplements you are taking. Depending on your health, you might need to monitor things like blood sugar or blood pressure between appointments.

during the appointment

Appointment

Your healthcare provider will start by reviewing your overall health and any changes since your last visit. This includes checking your weight, blood pressure, and often measuring the size of your uterus to monitor fetal growth. Depending on your stage of pregnancy, you may undergo various tests such as urine tests, blood tests for screening (e.g., for gestational diabetes or anaemia), and possibly genetic screening tests. You will have the opportunity to discuss any symptoms you are experiencing, such as nausea, fatigue, swelling, or contractions. Your healthcare provider will discuss the development of the foetus, what to expect in terms of growth and changes, and answer any questions about foetal movements or other developments.

post appointment

Post-Appointment

Your healthcare provider will schedule your next prenatal appointment. This is typically based on your stage of pregnancy and any specific health considerations. Additionally, if tests were conducted, your healthcare provider will discuss the results with you as soon as they are available.

How do I know what kind of obstetric support I need?
The care you receive during your pregnancy will be discussed with you and decided together with your obstetrician, who will monitor your health from the beginning of your pregnancy, or beforehand if you are seeking support through trying to get pregnant, and monitoring any existing conditions. Working with an experienced consultant means you will be in safe hands throughout your pregnancy.
What kinds of tests will I need to have during my pregnancy?
Blood counts and tests at the beginning of your pregnancy will check for antibodies and antigens. Later check-ups will monitor your cervix, placenta, and health of your baby, both through swabs, blood work, and ultrasound. If you have an existing condition, your doctor may recommend additional monitoring.
What are the most common complications of pregnancy?
Women tend to be more susceptible to autoimmune diseases during pregnancy, although the symptoms of existing autoimmune conditions may be alleviated during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is also a common condition in pregnant women, as well as an increased risk of blood clots due to cardiovascular changes.
