Making an Appointment

You are strongly encouraged to make an initial appointment with us as soon as you realize you are pregnant and preferably within the first 10 weeks of your pregnancy. Nonetheless, please feel free to make an appointment with us anytime.

Your first appointment will consist of your thorough medical history, risk assessment and an educational session with specially trained midwives and obstetrician/gynaecologist. This initial visit will be followed by the necessary follow-up appointments and laboratory tests which are necessary to ensure that you have a smooth pregnancy and delivery.
