Caring, unhurried pregnancy checkups close to home — guided by lady gynaecologist Dr. K. Sushmitha. From your first positive test to safe delivery planning, we walk with you at every step.
Antenatal care simply means the regular health checkups you have during pregnancy. These visits are one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your baby. Even when you feel completely well, regular checkups help us make sure both of you stay healthy as the pregnancy grows.
During each visit we monitor your weight, blood pressure, your baby's growth and heartbeat, and review your blood and urine tests. This steady monitoring lets us catch common problems early — such as anaemia, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes or slow baby growth — when they are easiest to manage. Spotting concerns early often means simpler treatment and a calmer pregnancy.
Regular care also gives you a trusted place to ask questions, understand what is normal, and plan ahead for a safe delivery. Many worries during pregnancy come from uncertainty, and a few minutes with your doctor can replace that worry with clear, reassuring guidance.
We confirm your pregnancy, check your dates, review your general health and medical history, and begin any vitamins such as folic acid. Your first visit sets the foundation and a personalised checkup plan for the months ahead.
Through the first, second and third trimesters we track your baby's growth and heartbeat, your blood pressure and weight, and the routine tests and scans recommended at each stage — so nothing important is missed.
If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid issues, a previous complication, or you are aged 35 or above, we provide closer monitoring with more frequent visits and tests to keep you and your baby safe.
Practical, everyday advice on diet, iron and calcium, gentle activity, rest and warning signs to watch for — explained simply, in Tamil or English, so the whole family can support you.
As your due date approaches, we discuss your delivery options and prepare a clear plan. Where a hospital with full delivery facilities or specialist care is the safest choice, we coordinate a timely referral and share your records so your care continues smoothly.
Every pregnancy is different, so your doctor will personalise your schedule. As a general guide, most mothers can expect:
