At Safeway Medicare, we have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of mothers through pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal recovery. In honour of the families who trust us, we want to share some essential guidance for expectant mothers in our community.\n\nAntenatal visits matter\nThe World Health Organization recommends at least 8 antenatal care visits during pregnancy. These visits allow our team to monitor your health and the baby's development, screen for complications like pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes, and prepare you for a safe delivery.\n\nNutrition during pregnancy\nEating a balanced diet rich in iron, folic acid, calcium, and protein is essential. Leafy greens, beans, eggs, fish, and dairy products should be part of your daily meals. Avoid alcohol and smoking entirely.\n\nWarning signs to watch for\nContact us immediately if you experience heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, headache with blurred vision, decreased baby movement, or a high fever.\n\nDelivery at Safeway Medicare\nOur maternity ward is staffed by qualified midwives and nurses around the clock. We provide a safe, supportive environment for both normal deliveries and assisted births.\n\nPostnatal care\nThe weeks after delivery are just as important. We offer postnatal check-ups, breastfeeding support, and newborn assessments to ensure both mother and baby are thriving.\n\nBook your antenatal visit today. Call 0744 062 187 or walk in to our clinic on Buwate Road, Najjera. We are open 24/7.
