Plan Table

Getting Pregnant

Preparing for pregnancy involves both physical and emotional readiness.
Start by maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding alcohol or smoking.
Taking folic acid supplements before conception helps prevent birth defects.
It’s also important to visit your doctor for preconception screening ( veracity test ) and to discuss any existing health conditions.
Tracking ovulation and understanding your cycle increases the chances of conception.

Baby Birth

The birth of your baby is a life-changing event that marks the start of a new journey.
Whether it’s a natural delivery or a cesarean section, being informed about the process helps reduce anxiety.
Discuss your birth plan with your doctor, including pain relief options and delivery preferences.
After birth, the focus shifts to recovery, bonding, and the baby’s first moments of care.

Talk To Us

Your First Scan

The first ultrasound scan, usually between 6 and 12 weeks, confirms your pregnancy and estimates your due date.
It allows your doctor to check the baby’s heartbeat, number of embryos, and general development.
Always follow your doctor’s advice on additional tests or scans that may be needed.

Baby Care

Caring for a newborn requires patience, love, and attention to detail.
Regular feeding, proper hygiene, and safe sleep practices are essential in the early months.
Make sure to keep track of your baby’s weight, vaccinations.
Remember, bonding through touch, eye contact, and gentle talk builds trust and emotional security for your baby.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of transformation for both body and mind.
Each trimester brings new changes, from morning sickness to feeling the baby move.
Maintaining a nutritious diet, staying active with safe exercises, and attending prenatal appointments are key to a healthy pregnancy.
Emotional support and rest are just as important as physical care during these months.

Feeding Baby

Feeding is one of the most important parts of early parenting.
Whether you choose breastfeeding, formula feeding, or a combination of both, ensure your baby is getting enough nutrients.
Breast milk provides antibodies that help build your baby’s immunity, while formula offers a balanced alternative.
As your baby grows, solid foods can be introduced around six months, always under your doctor’s guidance.
