Antenatal Care Services
They have become more important than ever before. At Jacaranda Maternity, we provide optimal care and treatment, helping women throughout pregnancy.
Screening For Conditions
Our antenatal care services include comprehensive screening for potential conditions that may impact pregnancy. We monitor diabetes and high blood pressure as these conditions may complicate your pregnancy and increase the risk of premature birth.
Proper Nutrition
Proper nutrition is vital for pregnant women. Our healthcare professionals will prescribe essential minerals and vitamins, such as multivitamins, calcium, folic acid, fish oil, and iron to support the baby's growth and safeguard the mother's well-being.
Tracking Fetal Development
Our midwives and doctors will schedule regular prenatal check-ups, keeping an eye on the development of your baby inside the womb. We also recommend ultrasounds to assess the size, environment, and condition of the fetus.
Antenatal Classes
Our antenatal classes are particularly beneficial for first-time parents. These classes equip expectant parents with essential knowledge related to delivery, entire pregnancy, and the challenges of first-time parenthood. A special focus is given to breastfeeding and newborn care.
Health Education
Our healthcare professionals educate women on various aspects of motherhood, including breastfeeding, and postnatal challenges. Our team will schedule frequent visits to the antenatal clinic, helping women prepare for the impending changes in their lives — physically and mentally.
Scheduled Testing
Our antenatal care services include scheduling crucial tests based on your examination. These laboratory tests diagnose various conditions such as Hepatitis B, HIV infection, diabetes, and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The test results guide the decisions on the safety of a vaginal delivery or necessitating a C-section.
