Family, Delivery, and Postpartum Care - DRHC Dubai Obstetrics Clinic

Prenatal Care and Family Planning

• It is always recommended to visit our Obstetrician if you are planning for pregnancy to identify any potential problems.
• Preconception counseling includes consultation and advice about nutrition and supplements required for a healthy pregnancy. This visit may uncover other issues that require correction before pregnancy.
• It is internationally recognized that adequate prenatal care reduces the chance of miscarriages, birth abnormalities, and future infant diseases as well as reducing the rate of death during pregnancy.

Our Doctor’s recommendation for prenatal care would be:

• Monthly clinic visits from the onset of pregnancy until 28 weeks.
• Visit every 2 weeks in the period between 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy.
• Weekly visit and check-up after week 36 as the delivery is usually expected between 38-40 weeks.

Normal Delivery

• Normal-term Delivery usually occurs between 38-41 weeks. Some physiological changes occur before the onset of labor which may require immediate medical attention.
• Our doctors’ practice is to ensure that the delivery occurs in a normal way and to avoid any Caesarean section unless there is a particular effect on the mother or baby’s condition in general.

Cesarean Section

• Our Doctors use the Caesarean section technique for delivery when abnormal conditions arise which may cause a complication with the mother or baby during the vaginal delivery. The rate of Caesarean sections as recognized internationally is approximately 20-25% of total deliveries.

Postpartum Care

• This would include close observation of the mother and the newborn baby after delivery and extend up to 6 weeks. This would consist of the physical and psychological support of the mother since some women can suffer from postpartum depression.
• During this period the mother would be at risk of developing hemorrhage, hypertension, infection, and possibly vein thrombosis. In addition, mothers may face problems related to lactation (nursing) and the baby’s nutrition.
• We believe that close contact between our doctor and our patient is mandatory for a non-complicated postpartum period.
