Pre & Post Natal Care

Congratulations for you new bundle of joy. Dr. Muthama is here to walk with you thoughout preconception, pregnancy, birth and post natal period

We offer a comprehensive mother-baby care consisting of preconception, prenatal (before birth) and postpartum (after birth) healthcare for expectant mothers and babies.

Pregnancy weeks are divided into three trimesters, where each trimester has its medical milestones and prenatal care. Prenatal care involves pregnancy education and counselling where physical activity, screening tests, dietary changes and what to expect during labour and delivery are addressed.

While most attention to pregnancy care focuses on the nine months of pregnancy, postpartum care is important, too. During this period, the mother goes through many physical and emotional changes while learning to care for her newborn. Postpartum care involves getting proper rest, nutrition, vaginal care, breast care and wound care for post caesarean section mothers. It also includes family planning advice and interventions.

Although for most women and babies, the postnatal period is uncomplicated, effective postnatal care (PNC) is also about recognising any deviation from expected recovery after birth, and evaluating and intervening appropriately in a timely fashion.
