Falling pregnant is an exciting and wonderful time, but it requires a specialised level of care to help monitor and maintain your and your baby's health. This care is referred to as antenatal or pregnancy care.
Dr Deon van Zyl provides antenatal care to women while pregnant and during the birthing process. He has helped many women have successful pregnancies and shares your immense joy at bringing new life into the world.
Antenatal care involves a series of appointments at various pregnancy milestones to monitor the progress and development of your baby while keeping an eye out for any complications.
During your antenatal visits, Dr van Zyl will:
Your first appointment will take place at 8-10 weeks pregnant. This is your first official antenatal appointment, and where Dr van Zyl will outline your follow-up appointments and what to expect at each visit.
Your following appointments will take place at specific checkpoints in your pregnancy:
Your delivery will occur at week 41 or earlier, as your chances of needing a caesarean section increase after this.
Each appointment will be slightly different as you advance in your pregnancy. Typically, the appointments will start with discussing how you have been feeling, any symptoms you have experienced and other noticeable changes.
This is followed by scans, tests and exams, including:
These tests help Dr van Zyl pick up on any issues with you or your baby and if your baby has an increased risk of developing a congenital disorder.
Of course! You are welcome to bring your partner or a loved one to your antenatal visits. Of course, Dr van Zyl will provide you with the utmost support and care, but having someone who can drive you and share in your joy is always beneficial.
