Antenatal and Postnatal Clinics

It is important for all expecting mothers to attend antenatal clinics (ANC) for check-ups and to receive important information about their pregnancy. Postnatal clinics (PNC) are also equally important to track the mother’s postpartum recovery journey and the baby’s growth and development milestones.

We understand that every pregnancy is different, and we will tailor our services to meet your individual needs. We are here to support you every step of the way, from the moment you conceive to the moment you hold your baby in your arms.

What We Do

Pregnant women usually attend antenatal clinics to have their progress during pregnancy monitored. The clinic offers a chance to check on the mother and baby’s health, provide advice and support, and answer any questions that the mother or father may have. Usually, the first visit to an antenatal clinic is when the woman is around eight weeks pregnant.

During the first visit, the midwife or doctor will take a medical history and ask about any concerns. They will also do a physical examination, including a blood pressure check and urine test. The woman will be weighed and her height measured.

The midwife or doctor will then discuss the woman’s health during pregnancy, including diet, exercise, and any other lifestyle changes that need to be made. They will also talk about the different stages of labour and birth, and what to expect during each one.

At subsequent visits, the midwife or doctor will continue to monitor the mother and baby’s progress. They will check the mother’s blood pressure and urine, and may also do a vaginal examination to check the baby’s position.

The clinic will provide advice and support throughout the pregnancy, and can refer the woman to other services if necessary. For example, if the woman is suffering from anxiety or depression, she may be referred to a counsellor.
