Pregnancy Care Services in Dubai

We recommend booking your first visit as soon as you have a positive home pregnancy test, usually around 6-8 weeks gestation. This early appointment allows us to confirm pregnancy viability with an ultrasound, establish an accurate due date, check for ectopic pregnancy, and begin essential first-trimester bloodwork. Early booking also ensures you are started on appropriate supplements like folic acid and allows us to identify any risk factors that may require closer monitoring throughout your pregnancy.

Yes, our clinic is equipped with advanced 3D ultrasound technology that provides detailed, high-resolution images of your baby. The 3D scan creates three-dimensional images showing facial features, anatomy, and surface details more clearly than standard 2D imaging. These scans are typically performed between 26 and 32 weeks for the best bonding experience. Beyond the emotional benefit, our sonographers and obstetricians use these advanced imaging capabilities to assess fetal anatomy and development with greater clarity.

High-risk pregnancy care is tailored for women with conditions that may complicate pregnancy, including gestational or pre-existing diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia risk, multiple pregnancies (twins or more), advanced maternal age (over 35), history of preterm birth, or autoimmune disorders. Our specialists provide more frequent visits, additional ultrasound scans, specialized lab testing, and closer fetal monitoring. We create individualized care plans that address your specific risk factors while coordinating with other specialists as needed to ensure the best outcomes for you and your baby.

Yes, our obstetricians have admitting privileges at leading hospitals across Dubai. During your antenatal care, we discuss your delivery preferences including hospital choice, birth plan, and any special requirements you may have. We help coordinate with your chosen hospital and ensure your medical records and birth plan are communicated to the delivery team. Our goal is to make the transition from antenatal care to delivery as seamless as possible, whether you prefer a natural birth or have specific medical needs that guide hospital selection.

Yes, we offer comprehensive genetic screening options including Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT), which is a simple blood test performed from 10 weeks gestation that screens for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13) with high accuracy. We also provide first-trimester combined screening (nuchal translucency ultrasound plus blood markers) and coordinate amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling referrals when diagnostic confirmation is needed. Your obstetrician will discuss the best screening pathway based on your age, history, and preferences.

Yes, same-day antenatal visits are available in our DHCC clinic, though specialist slots fill fast and we recommend booking early. Same-day appointments are particularly prioritized for urgent concerns such as bleeding, reduced fetal movement, severe nausea or vomiting, sudden swelling, headaches, or abdominal pain. For routine antenatal check-ups, we recommend scheduling in advance to ensure continuity of care with your preferred obstetrician. Contact our team by phone or WhatsApp to check real-time availability.

Our antenatal packages are designed to provide comprehensive, predictable pregnancy care. They typically include scheduled obstetrician consultations aligned with trimester milestones, routine blood tests (complete blood count, blood group, rubella, hepatitis screening, thyroid function), urine tests, ultrasound scans (dating, nuchal translucency, anomaly, and growth scans), glucose tolerance testing for gestational diabetes, and birth planning consultations. Package details and pricing vary, so we recommend contacting our team for a detailed breakdown tailored to your needs and insurance coverage.

Gestational diabetes is screened routinely between 24 and 28 weeks using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). If diagnosed, our team provides a structured management plan that includes dietary counseling with a focus on balanced carbohydrate intake, regular blood sugar monitoring guidance, and safe exercise recommendations. Many women manage gestational diabetes effectively with lifestyle changes alone. If blood sugar levels remain elevated, medication or insulin therapy may be introduced. Regular follow-up ensures both your health and your baby's growth are closely monitored throughout the remainder of your pregnancy.
