Sr Linette Louw- Registered Nurse and Midwife and myself are Thrilled to present this amazing talk. Why? We keep on getting told: I am doing it naturally...And this makes us worry...Ante natal care is super important. It does not merely mean: I had a scan! It also does not mean you wait till just before you have the baby and then find somebody...so much is happening during the pregnancy
The purpose of Ante natal care, the blood tests and scans are to get you to birth as healthy as possible...with early interventions preventing later complications. It might mean shared care: seeing a midwife while you wait for that available opportunity to see the Gynae or Midwife care in in which you see the Gynae twice or trice and the midwife the other 5 times. Yes the guidelines suggest 8 Ante natal visits.
