Pregnancy is an exciting time for an expectant woman. While pregnancy is a happy time, you need to make sure that your baby is healthy during your pregnancy. This is where antenatal care comes in. Antenatal care is the healthcare and support you receive while you’re pregnant. This ensures you and your unborn baby are healthy throughout your pregnancy.
Dr Tisane offers antenatal care to pregnant women not only for the journey of pregnancy but also for the birth of their baby. During your first antenatal appointment, Dr Tisane will confirm your pregnancy and discuss your gynaecological history.
We recommend coming for your first appointment between 7 – 10 weeks of pregnancy. During this appointment, Dr Tisane will perform a dating scan, take your medical and gynaecological history, discuss birth choices and answer any questions that you may have. Following this, Dr Tisane will see you approximately 4-6 weekly until you’re 28 weeks pregnant. When you’re 28-36 weeks pregnant, you need to come in every two weeks. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, you need to come in for weekly visits until your baby is born.
Dr Tisane performs the following screenings:
Dr Tisane will also prioritise any physical symptoms that may be plaguing you during your pregnancy such as morning sickness, fatigue, weight gain and anxiety. She will also offer advice on healthy eating and lifestyle changes.
Dr Tisane does her utmost to make you feel comfortable enough to ask any questions you may have about your pregnancy. For example, you can ask her advice on physical pregnancy symptoms and the birth itself. You may also want to ask questions about caring for your baby after birth.
