Birth of a baby brings immense joy and pleasure for the family but it is preceded by a long period of waiting during pregnancy that brings along anxieties and a lot of nervousness and worries about the baby's health. In the present times, where the concept of nuclear family is rapidly increasing, many young couples find themselves alone amidst all these anxieties. They look for guidance in books and internet. Although helpful, but at times even the books and on internet may leave you confused and stressed.
pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon and the pregnant women may not appreciate the importance of regular check-ups during this period.This leaflet is designed to inform you about the important aspects of Antenatal care, tests recommended during pregnancy, and all other related queries.

The programme includes three trimesters, which are further divided into classes meant for educating the mother on pre and post natal care. It includes:

1. Consultation with gynaecologists
2. Comprehensive risk assessment during the initial stages of pregnancy
3. Ongoing risk evaluation during each visit
4. Dietician and physiotherapy visits
5. All standard recommended tests from conception to delivery

The details of the programme are enlisted below:

Giving birth to a baby is the most joyful moment in a woman's life. But for most, this moment may become a frightful and uncomfortable experience of their life, due to lack of proper facilities. At Artemis, we have a dedicated labour and delivery complex with six state-of-the-art LDRP suites, dedicated OT, Level-Ill NICU, and a team of doctors and nurses who are specially trained to provide you the best of care you deserve. We believe every labouring woman should have her own personal space. We respect your privacy, and also understand how troublesome it is to be shifted from one place to another multiple times when you are under such stress. Hence, we introduce the concept of LDRP; i.e. Labour Delivery Recovery and Post-partum care in one private room, where you and your family can welcome the new member of the family in a home-like setting with all the facilities, equipment and personnel available to ensure a safe and comfortable delivery and tackle any kind of problems to you and your baby. Our endeavour is to make the birth of your baby the most cherished moment of your life.
