I Antenatal Care

Antenatal care, also known as prenatal care, is a type of preventive healthcare. It is provided in the form of medical checkups, consisting of recommendations on managing a healthy lifestyle and the provision of medical information such as maternal physiological changes in pregnancy, biological changes, and prenatal nutrition including prenatal vitamins, which prevents potential health problems throughout the course of the pregnancy and promotes the mother and child’s health alike. The availability of routine prenatal care, including prenatal screening and diagnosis, has played a part in reducing the frequency of maternal death, miscarriages, birth defects, low birth weight, neonatal infections and other preventable health problems.

ii Delivery Services

Childbirth, also known as labour, parturition and delivery, is the completion of pregnancy where one or more babies exits the internal environment of the mother via vaginal delivery or caesarean section.

The most common childbirth method worldwide is vaginal delivery. It involves four stages of labour: the shortening and opening of the cervix during the first stage, descent and birth of the baby during the second, the delivery of the placenta during the third, and the recovery of the mother and infant during the fourth stage, which is referred to as the postpartum.

iii Epidural Services

An epidural provides anesthesia that creates a band of numbness from your bellybutton to your upper legs. It allows you to be awake and alert throughout labor, as well as to feel pressure. The ability to feel second-stage labor pressure enables you to push when it’s time to give birth to your baby. 

At George’s, we offer epidural services administered by our highly experienced anesthetist

IV Antenatal Classes

Antenatal classes help you prepare for the birth of your baby and how to look after yourself and your new baby once they have been born.  

They are group classes, where a group of parents-to-be whose babies are due around the same time are brought together. This means they are a good way to meet other pregnant women and birthing people in your area. Friends made at antenatal classes often meet with each other through the first few months with their new baby and can be a great source of support for each other.
