Midwifery Support
Midwifery Service
In our midwifery services, we offer 30-minute prenatal checkups (by appointment only). During scheduled visits, we cover:
- Monitoring your baby's growth and development
- Addressing minor pregnancy concerns
- Breast care and breastfeeding consultations
- Preparing for hospital stay and baby supplies
- Helping develop your birth plan
At our hospital, we recommend alternating prenatal checkups between midwives and obstetricians for optimal care. Our obstetricians will be available to assist if a medical evaluation is needed.
Natural Childbirth Programs
The natural childbirth program is designed to support the mother’s natural birthing instincts and the baby’s ability to be born, promoting a safe and empowering birth experience.
Our midwives provide extended information and resources about your baby's development and maternal health during prenatal checkups. We prioritize the individual needs, ensuring a safe, fulfilling, and personalized birth experience.

Lactation Support
We offer lactation consultations to address and identify various concerns associated with breastfeeding. Our lactation specialists will listen to your concerns, such as breast pain, swelling, or lumps, as well as breastfeeding challenges, baby's growth, and weaning.
The consultations are available by appointment only on weekdays. However, in emergency cases, our lactation support is available 24 hours a day, including holidays and weekends. In cases such as mastitis, where medical evaluation is needed, we will arrange an appointment with the breast care center. -
