As the end of pregnancy draws nearer, you may experience an intense mixture of emotions — relief, fatigue, wonder, excitement, apprehension, and nervousness. All of these feelings are completely natural as you prepare to meet your baby.
As your pregnancy progresses, we’ll meet more frequently — every 2 weeks from 30 weeks, then weekly from 36 weeks until delivery. Each visit ensures both you and your baby are safe, healthy, and emotionally prepared for birth.
We’ll monitor your blood pressure, baby’s movements, heartbeat, and perform abdominal examinations to estimate the size and position of your baby.
If we have concerns about baby’s growth, fluid levels, placenta position, or blood flow, additional ultrasounds will be performed to ensure everything is progressing smoothly.
If you are a negative blood group, we will provide anti-D prophylaxis to protect both you and your baby.
A Group B Streptococcus (GBS) swab will be done. If positive, you’ll receive antibiotics to prevent transmission during birth. You’ll also meet with our midwife to discuss your birth plan and expectations.
We’ll help you understand what to expect during labour and early motherhood, ensuring you’re emotionally and physically ready to welcome your little one with confidence.
