Pregnancy Care
From your first positive test to postpartum recovery, our obstetric team provides personalised pregnancy care with advanced monitoring, safe delivery options, and newborn support.
Overview
Pregnancy care (obstetrics) encompasses the entire journey from preconception counselling through antenatal checkups, labour and delivery, to postpartum recovery. Regular monitoring ensures the health of both mother and baby, with early detection and management of any complications.
Our team offers comprehensive services including routine antenatal visits, ultrasound scans (dating, NT, anomaly, growth), antenatal classes, normal vaginal delivery, caesarean section when medically indicated, and postnatal care — all under one roof.
Causes
- Pregnancy is a natural physiological process, not a disease. This section covers care and support.
Diagnosis
- Urine pregnancy test — confirms pregnancy
- Blood tests — beta-hCG, blood group, haemoglobin, infectious disease screening
- Ultrasound — dating scan (6-9 weeks), NT scan (11-13 weeks), anomaly scan (18-22 weeks), growth scans as needed
- Glucose tolerance test — screens for gestational diabetes at 24-28 weeks

Supported natural birth with pain management options including epidural.
Caesarean section (C-section)

Frequently Asked Questions
How many antenatal visits do I need?
WHO recommends at least 8 visits. A typical schedule: monthly until 28 weeks, every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, weekly until delivery.
When should I come to the hospital during labour?
When contractions are 5 minutes apart, lasting 60 seconds, for 1 hour (the 5-1-1 rule) — or earlier if your water breaks or you have reduced foetal movements.
