FAQ’s

Antenatal visits are conducted at our consultation room in Parow. For home birth clients I do home visits from 36 weeks.

Our service areas include Bellville, Blouberg, Cravenby, Durbanville, Edgemead, Elsies River, Goodwood, Kuils River, Milnerton, Panorama, Parow, Plattekloof, Ravensmead, Ruyterwacht, Thornton, Tygervalley and Welgemoed.

I offer antenatal care for moms who choose home birth as well as those who opt for a hospital birth.

From 2022 I will be offering the ‘My Birthing Kit ’antenatal programme at my house.

My Birthing Kit is an affordable, easily accessible antenatal course, designed for pregnant women, to have the best birthing experience possible- whether it be normal birth or caesarean section.

I support VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean), but after careful consideration, I have decided to not do VBAC’s at home. I will do antenatal visits for moms who had previous c/sections, but will refer them to the nearest high risk clinic at 36 weeks gestation.

In the event of an emergency, Karl Bremer Hospital is my designated back-up facility. I am professionally trained and possess the required experience, to identify potential problems and manage emergencies. If and when required, I will quickly arrange a calm transfer to hospital. I am fully trained and skilled to provide immediate response to an emergency situation.

I have a birthing pool which you can hire if you opt to have a waterbirth, or want to use it as pain relief during labour.

During antenatal consultations, we will discuss your birth plan. This includes whether you want to do delayed cord clamping, skin to skin immediately after birth, do you want your partner to cut the cord. We also discuss the administration of Oxytocin and Vit k for baby.

Moms are welcome to have a doula of their choice, to assist and support them during the labour process.

No, I refer my clients to Peek-a-Babe in Goodwood and FirstGlimpse in Brackenfell.
