Obstetric consultations take place every month of pregnancy to ensure that the pregnant woman is properly monitored and that the development of the fetus is assessed.
It is therefore an essential appointment during pregnancy.
At this appointment, a specific assessment is made of the pregnant woman’s health, including medical history, eating habits, physical exercise, among other important topics.
In addition, an obstetric ultrasound scan is carried out, which allows the fetus and its development to be seen inside the mother’s womb using ultrasound.
It’s a painless test that helps the doctor identify possible anomalies.
The first trimester ultrasound (11-13+6 weeks) is important for:
Combining the data from this ultrasound (translucency of the nape of the neck, nasal bone, ductus venosus and tricuspid valve regurgitation) with the mother’s age and biochemical screening (blood test that determines 2 hormones – B-HCG and PAPP-A) can detect around 92-95% of babies with Down’s Syndrome and other chromosomal defects).
The second trimester ultrasound (20-22 weeks) allows for:
The third trimester ultrasound (30-32 weeks) allows for:
Infant feeding support consultations
In the postpartum period, many doubts and fears arise about breastfeeding and caring for the baby.
It is based on these needs that GOLDMED offers a consultation where the new mum can get help with breastfeeding, from latching on to nipple care, collecting milk for storage and returning to work, among other situations that may arise.
In this same consultation, counselling is given for the correct introduction of food to the baby, in the different approaches (traditional, mixed or BLW), and there is also support and teaching for weaning.
The consultation on pregnant women’s and babies’ sleep is carried out by a psychologist who specialises in this subject.
Pregnant women often experience changes in their sleep and feel more tired as a result.
With the pregnant woman’s wellbeing and the correct development of the foetus in mind, the psychologist will teach you how to improve your hours of sleep and rest during pregnancy.
Baby sleep is an important part of paediatric care, as adequate sleep is essential for a child’s healthy growth and development.
Inadequate sleep jeopardises cognitive and emotional development, as well as physical growth.
With the child’s correct development and the parents’ rest in mind, GOLDMED offers a baby’s sleep consultation where an assessment is made and recommendations are given for improving the health of the whole family.
