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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
