The whole journey

From the first question to the first cry.

Fertility, pregnancy and gynaecology care are provided by one doctor.

  1. A couple sitting together on the grass

    01 · Trying

    I’m trying to get pregnant.

    Whether you have been trying for six months or six years, the first step is understanding why, before anyone talks about treatment.

  2. An ultrasound print held against a pregnant belly

    02 · Pregnant

    I’m pregnant.

    Antenatal care, closer monitoring where a pregnancy needs it, and planning for delivery.

  3. A pregnant woman holding her belly

    03 · Closer watching

    High-risk pregnancy

    Antenatal care from confirmation to delivery. Close monitoring where a pregnancy needs it: diabetes, blood pressure, growth concerns, previous losses.

  4. A newborn’s feet wrapped in a soft blanket

    04 · Birth, and after

    Birth, planned together

    Delivery planned well before labour, including birth after a caesarean where it is safe, and care for mother and baby after.

Your first visit

What happens when you come in.

Knowing the shape of the appointment makes it easier to book one.

  1. 01

    You talk first

    A full history before any test: what has been happening, for how long, what you have already tried, and what you are actually worried about.

  2. 02

    Examination and, where useful, a scan

    An examination with a female attendant present. A scan or blood test is advised where it is clinically indicated.

  3. 03

    What was found, explained

    In Tamil, Kannada, English or whichever language you are most comfortable in. What the findings mean, what they do not mean, and what is likely to happen next.

  4. 04

    The options, explained

    The reasonable options with their trade-offs, including watchful waiting where appropriate. A plan and a review date are agreed together.
