Pregnancy is a journey, and good preparation makes the experience calmer for both mother and baby.

Trimester-wise care

  • First trimester: confirm pregnancy, dating scan, folic acid
  • Second trimester: anomaly scan, gestational diabetes screening
  • Third trimester: growth scans, delivery planning, birth plan discussion

On the day

Hospital bag ready by week 36. Know your team — your obstetrician, paediatrician, and anaesthetist. At Healic, our birthing rooms are designed to keep you supported through every contraction.

After delivery

Lactation support, post-natal exercises, and the 6-week check-up are as important as the delivery itself.
