Maternal and Fetal Monitoring Appointments

These appointments, lasting between 60 and 90 minutes, provide a dedicated space for you and your family to be heard, to ask questions, and to share any concerns or experiences related to pregnancy.

During the consultations, we will monitor the baby’s heartbeat, position, and growth, and address any physical discomforts or questions that may arise throughout pregnancy.

It is recommended to schedule one appointment per month, with increased monitoring during the third trimester.

Each consultation lasts between 60 and 90 minutes and includes:

  • Assessment of maternal and fetal well-being and review of diagnostic test results;

  • Early identification of situations that may divert the pregnancy from its normal course;

  • Identification of risk factors and promotion of health education;

  • Preparation for childbirth and parenthood;

  • Information regarding parental rights and responsibilities.

Recommended Schedule:

  • First consultation: ideally before 12 weeks of gestation;

  • Up to 30 weeks: consultations every 4 to 6 weeks;

  • From 30 to 36 weeks: consultations every 2 to 3 weeks;

  • After 36 weeks: consultations every 1 to 2 weeks.

  • After 40 weeks: recommended ultrasound and CTG at 41 weeks/ intensified prenatal care

Birth Preparation

Each family has unique and diverse needs. You may wish to attend our comprehensive childbirth preparation course or simply seek clarification on specific questions. During the prenatal consultations, there is time to support you in exploring your questions, inform you about common procedures and help prepare you emotionally and physically for your labour.

Topics may include:

  • Physiology of childbirth: hormonal processes throughout the stages of labor;

  • Holistic phases of birth;

  • Mental and emotional preparation for childbirth;

  • Preparation of siblings for the arrival of a new family member;

  • Role of the birth partner and application of comfort measures;

  • Birth vision and birth plan: hospital or home setting;

  • Choice of place of birth;

  • Preparation for water birth;

  • Evidence-based information on childbirth practices;

  • The fourth trimester: breastfeeding, changes in family dynamics, newborn care, nutritional guidance, and more.

Pregnancy loss support

In the event of a pregnancy loss—most commonly during the first trimester—we offer compassionate, holistic support throughout this deeply sensitive time. Too often, women and families are left feeling empty, unseen, and alone after such a loss.

We are here to gently support both emotional and physical healing, working in collaboration with our professional herbalist when appropriate. Through personalised nutritional guidance, ongoing supportive care, and meaningful rituals, we help individuals and families move through the grieving process with care, presence, and respect.
