Antenatal Care

The Healthy Mom and Baby Clinic offer their clients professional care throughout their pregnancy. You can make appointment for your first visit after you confirmed you are pregnant. During the consultations we will look at the growth and wellbeing of your baby, your blood pressure, iron levels, urine analysis and a once of blood test. This time will allow you to ask all your questions. We do advise you to attend Antenatal classes. Clients are required to see their midwife monthly initially, two weekly between week 30 and 36 and weekly in the last month of their pregnancy. We work together with doctors and We make scans for growth monitoring and calculation of due date.
When we detect abnormalities we refer to our local gynaecologist or doctor of your choice.
