Do you have questions running through your mind about what a hospital birth experience is like? Let us walk this journey with you and help you prepare for one of life’s most momentous experiences.
Finding a specialist
At Gleneagles Hospital, we have 29 specialists in the field of Obstetrics and Gynaecology who can care for you and your baby from pregnancy, labour delivery, to the postdelivery period.
Choosing an obstetrician is not an easy decision to make. You may consider seeking recommendations from friends and family, reading online reviews, or finding out which OB-GYNs are in your insurance network.
Unsure if your current obstetrician is right for you? Keep in mind that you can change your decision at any point in your pregnancy. If you don’t feel comfortable with your obstetrician, try to talk about your concerns and see if your doctor can address them. Make sure that you have complete trust in your practitioner, as a lack of trust or confidence in your doctor can cause unnecessary stress throughout your pregnancy.

Prenatal tests
As you go through the pregnancy journey, your doctor will advise you to undergo certain prenatal tests to make sure that you and your baby are doing well.
A prenatal ultrasound scan is a safe and useful method to evaluate your baby. The first ultrasound scan is usually performed in the first trimester so that your doctor can visualise the growing foetus in the pregnancy sac inside your womb. An ultrasound scan can also assess your baby’s risk of having a genetic condition called Down Syndrome. In the second trimester, a detailed foetal anomaly scan is performed to check if there are any structural abnormalities affecting your baby, such as the heart, brain, kidneys and other organs. By the third trimester, ultrasound scans are performed to monitor the growth of your baby and to examine if the amniotic fluid surrounding your baby is adequate.
Aside from prenatal scans, your doctor will also advise you to undergo blood tests to check your blood count and to check for infections such as hepatitis, rubella, and other sexually transmitted infections. You will also be asked to have an oral glucose tolerance test to screen for gestational diabetes. Some women may also be advised to undergo invasive or non-invasive prenatal testing to analyse foetal DNA and determine the baby’s risk of having certain genetic conditions.
