During your first prenatal visit, our GPs confirm your pregnancy through a combination of medical history, a thorough physical examination, and laboratory tests. This visit also includes a comprehensive assessment of your medical and obstetric history, which allows us to tailor our care to your unique needs. Additionally, we calculate your estimated due date, giving you a clearer picture of what to expect in the months ahead.

Regular prenatal check-ups are crucial for monitoring your health and your baby’s development. We keep a close eye on important factors like your weight, blood pressure, and overall well-being, while also tracking your baby’s growth through physical exams and ultrasounds. Routine blood and urine tests are performed to detect conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia early, allowing for prompt and effective management.

Proper nutrition and lifestyle choices are essential for a healthy pregnancy. We provide personalised guidance on maintaining a balanced diet, including the use of prenatal vitamins to support your baby’s development. Our GPs also offer advice on safe exercise routines, the importance of adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful substances like tobacco, alcohol, and certain medications.

Our GPs offer prenatal tests to screen for genetic and chromosomal conditions, ensuring you have the information needed to make informed decisions about your pregnancy. Additionally, we test for infections that could impact your pregnancy, such as HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis, allowing us to take proactive steps to protect your health and that of your baby.

Pregnancy can come with its share of discomforts and complications, and we’re here to help you manage them effectively. Whether you’re experiencing common issues like nausea, vomiting, and back pain, or facing more serious conditions like gestational diabetes, hypertension, or preterm labour, our team is equipped to provide the care and support you need to navigate these challenges safely.

As your due date approaches, we work closely with you to prepare for labour and delivery. We discuss your birth plan, including pain management options, and provide detailed information on recognising the signs of labour and when to head to the hospital. If necessary, we’ll arrange referrals to obstetricians or other specialists to ensure you have the best possible care during your delivery.

Our care continues even after your baby is born. Postpartum care focuses on monitoring your recovery, providing support for breastfeeding, and offering guidance on newborn care. We’re also here to help you navigate any emotional challenges, such as postpartum depression, ensuring that you receive comprehensive support during this critical time of adjustment.
