Pregnancy & Obstetrics Care
Support from Preconception to Postpartum
At Dr. Arshya Bilal, our pregnancy care covers everything from planning conception to delivery and postnatal recovery. We provide safe, personalized, and evidence-based care for both mother and baby throughout your journey.
Preconception and Early Pregnancy
Before pregnancy, we help you prepare your body and reduce any health risks. This includes improving fertility and addressing conditions that may affect conception or pregnancy.
- Preconception counselling and risk assessment
- Review of medical history, medicines, and lifestyle
- Guidance on folic acid, vitamins, and nutrition
- Advice on weight, exercise, and conditions like diabetes or thyroid disorders
Early Pregnancy Care
In early pregnancy, we confirm the pregnancy, estimate the due date, and check that everything is developing normally. This may include blood tests, ultrasound scans, and support for issues like nausea, bleeding, or high-risk conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or multiple pregnancy.
Antenatal (Prenatal) Care
Regular antenatal visits are important for a healthy pregnancy. At each visit, we monitor your baby’s growth, your blood pressure, and your overall physical and emotional wellbeing.
