Comprehensive Maternity Care
Your pregnancy journey is unique and special, whether you're a first-time parent or already experienced. Let us support you through every stage—from pregnancy to post-birth care, and beyond to pediatric care for your little one.
Prenatal Care
Your journey into parenthood is a precious one, and we are here to walk alongside you with care and compassion. Regular prenatal check-ups are essential to monitor your baby’s growth and ensure both your health and your little one’s well-being.
We understand that you may have concerns about your baby’s development, and we are here to offer the support and reassurance you need. Our dedicated team of specialists will recommend any necessary screenings and diagnostics, always prioritizing your peace of mind.
If you have any concerns or need guidance along the way, you can schedule an appointment with one of our experienced obstetrics and gynecology doctors. We are here to help you and your baby every step of the way with loving care.
Here are the three stages of pregnancy you may experience:
Understanding the 3 pregnancy trimesters
1st Trimester (1-12 weeks)
Congratulations on your pregnancy! This exciting and crucial time comes with important steps to ensure a healthy start:
Book an Appointment with Your GynaecologistYour first visit will confirm your pregnancy via ultrasound, check the baby’s heartbeat, estimate your due date, and include initial prenatal tests.
Consider Prenatal TestingPrenatal tests monitor your baby’s development and screen for potential issues. Common tests include blood work, ultrasounds, and screenings for conditions like Down syndrome. Consult with your OB-GYN to explore your options.
Common SymptomsEach woman's experience during the first trimester varies. Symptoms like nausea, fatigue, breast soreness, and mood swings are common, with some women experiencing them more intensely than others.
2nd Trimester (13-24 weeks)
You may feel a return of energy and notice your baby’s first movements as your bump becomes more visible.
Schedule Regular UltrasoundsRegular scans, including a fetal anomaly scan around 18-20 weeks, monitor your baby’s development and can reveal the baby’s gender. High-risk pregnancies may require additional tests like amniocentesis or fetal blood sampling.
Health ChecksScreen for gestational diabetes, anemia, and check antibody levels. Consider getting a flu vaccine for added protection.
Maternity Tour & Antenatal ClassesJoin a maternity tour to familiarise yourself with the hospital, and attend a childbirth education class with your partner around week 20 to prepare for delivery.
Common symptoms:Some women may experience mild cramping after physical activity, along with leg cramps, stretch marks, and skin darkening, particularly on the face and abdomen.
3rd Trimester (25-38 weeks)
As your baby grows, you may experience heartburn, frequent urination, backaches, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. Focus on health checks and preparations:
Health ChecksRegular ultrasounds monitor your baby’s growth and position. A Group B Streptococcus (GBS) screening, typically done between 35-37 weeks, checks for bacteria that may require treatment during delivery.
Increased Check-UpsExpect more frequent doctor visits to closely monitor both your and your baby’s well-being.
Physical ChangesAs your baby grows, you may experience discomforts like heartburn, backaches, and frequent urination. Your doctor can help manage these symptoms.
Postpartum SupportArrange for a confinement nanny and meal services early, and prepare any caregivers for newborn care.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
A neonate is a newborn in their first 28 days of life and can be born either full term or prematurely (before 37 weeks of gestation). Neonatal care is a specialised field where trained professionals manage these delicate newborns.
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is dedicated to high-risk deliveries, resuscitation of sick newborns, intensive care, and well-baby nursery care, as well as follow-up. Alongside our doctors, our devoted team of nurses provides continuous monitoring, thorough investigations, and specialised medical and nursing care. We also offer comprehensive pre- and post-operative care for neonates requiring surgery.
To promote a calm environment for your newborn, we maintain optimal noise levels in the NICU using a sound level meter.
Nursery
We understand that the arrival of your newborn is a precious and joyful occasion. Our Nursery Room is thoughtfully designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and serene environment for your baby during their early days.
If your baby is in good health and doesn’t need specialised medical attention, your little one can stay with you in the nurseries at St Michael, Our Lady, and St Raphael wards. Our nursery features modern facilities and is staffed by compassionate, experienced nurses who are dedicated to ensuring your baby receives the best care. We focus on creating a warm and soothing atmosphere that promotes your baby’s well-being.
Our nursery provides a supportive environment for continuous monitoring and attentive care for babies needing extra care; even for mummies requiring some recovery time, such as after a C-section.
Postnatal care
