Midwife-led Pregnancy Care in Centurion
Routine antenatal care is the foundation of maternal health; it plays an important role in ensuring the well-being of both you and your baby.
These regular check-ups are not just a series of medical appointments; they are a proactive way to safeguard the health of the mother and baby. At Mums & Bums, we can identify and address potential complications early on, fostering a safer pregnancy journey.
Antenatal care includes a health assessment, nutritional guidance, and educational support, empowering you with the knowledge needed for a healthy pregnancy.
From detecting and managing underlying medical conditions to offering emotional support, antenatal care contributes to ensuring that each pregnancy has the best possible outcome.
What To Expect During a
Pregnancy Check-Up at Mums & Bums
Vital Signs & Urine Check
We prioritize your and your baby's well-being by monitoring your health.
During our antenatal follow ups, we assess all vital signs to ensure that your pregnancy remains healthy and low-risk.
Your peace of mind is our priority, and we aim to provide you with the assurance and support needed throughout this significant journey.
In-Depth History Taking
Understanding your medical history is important for preventing and detecting pregnancy-related disorders early on.
In our antenatal consultations, we take a comprehensive approach, gathering not only your full family history but also detailed information on previous pregnancies.
This history-taking allows us to tailor our care to your specific needs, ensuring that you and your growing baby receive the highest quality care.
Physical Examination
Ensuring the overall health of your body is a crucial aspect of routine pregnancy checkups.
Underlying health conditions can manifest physically.
In our clinic, we conduct a physical examination at each appointment to confirm that you are healthy for both yourself and your growing baby.
This assessment allows us to identify any concerns or changes, providing a proactive approach to address and manage any emerging issues.
Fetal Doppler Heart Rate Monitoring
As a midwife-operated service, we want to clarify that we do not provide traditional ultrasounds. Instead, we monitor your baby's well-being using a handheld fetal doppler ultrasound.
This device plays a crucial role in providing us with information about your baby's condition by assessing the heartbeat.
While you won't be able to see images, this tool enables us to detect any abnormalities promptly.
