Even if you feel great, some health problems don’t show obvious symptoms.
That’s why prenatal tests are so important!

Expect:
📸 Ultrasound – See your baby’s growth!
🩸 Blood & urine tests – Check for infections & anaemia
🔬 Blood pressure & glucose screening – Prevent complications
🤰🏾 Regular baby monitoring – Ensure a safe delivery

Every test is a step toward a healthy pregnancy. Work with your health worker to ensure you get the care you need, when you need it.

Induction of labour is the process of starting labour artificially using medicines or procedures instead of waiting for it to start on its own.

It is done when waiting may no longer be safe for the mother or the baby.

Women respond differently to labour induction.

Most deliver within a day or two after induction begins.

Some experience stronger contractions and more pain than in natural labour.

In some cases, induction may not be successful.

If induction fails, your doctor may recommend a caesarean section.

Epidural anaesthesia is a safe and effective way to relieve labour pain when administered by a skilled professional.

Minor side effects such as headache, low blood pressure, or backache may occur, and they are usually temporary.

Serious complications are very rare.

Overall, it is one of the most trusted methods for pain relief during childbirth.

Most people who have experienced a miscarriage go on to have healthy pregnancies.

It is important to know that some of them may have repeat miscarriages.

While repeat miscarriages are not always preventable, early appointments with your Gynaecologist can help identify treatable risk factors, paving the way for a safer, healthier journey to motherhood.

Including fish in your diet can be beneficial during pregnancy.

Fish are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which support your baby's brain development and are a great protein source.

However, be cautious! Some fish may contain high levels of mercury, which can affect your baby’s health.

Opt for low-mercury options like tilapia, salmon, sardines, catfish and trout.

Embrace the benefits while being mindful of the risks. 🐟✨
