Frequently asked questions

When should antenatal check-ups start?+

Ideally as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. Early visits establish the due date, check blood tests and blood pressure, and start supplements. Visits then follow a schedule that becomes more frequent in the later months.

Are heavy or irregular periods something to get checked?+

Yes. Periods that are very heavy, very painful, unusually irregular or accompanied by bleeding between cycles should be assessed. Causes range from hormonal imbalance and PCOS to fibroids, and most are treatable.

What is PCOS?+

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common hormonal condition that can cause irregular periods, weight gain, acne, excess hair growth and difficulty conceiving. It is managed with lifestyle measures and medication tailored to your symptoms and goals.
