Introduction
Pregnancy is one of life’s greatest joys, but it can also be overwhelming. Every mother wants a safe delivery and a healthy baby. Preparing well in advance reduces risks and ensures confidence as the due date approaches. At Thika Sam’s Annex Hospital, our maternity services are designed to support you through antenatal care, delivery, and postnatal recovery.
1. Start with Regular Antenatal Visits
Antenatal clinics are essential for monitoring both mother and baby. During these visits, doctors check blood pressure, track growth, and perform necessary tests. At Thika Sam’s Annex Hospital, our maternity team guides expectant mothers through every stage of pregnancy with care and compassion.
2. Eat a Balanced Diet and Stay Active
Nutrition plays a vital role in pregnancy. Eating a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and protein supports the baby’s development. Light exercises, like walking or prenatal yoga, can help manage weight and improve circulation. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise routine.
3. Prepare a Hospital Bag Early
As your due date approaches, pack a bag with essentials: comfortable clothes, baby items, sanitary supplies, and important documents. Having your bag ready reduces stress in case labor starts suddenly.
4. Discuss Your Birth Plan
Every woman’s birth experience is unique. Talk to your doctor about your preferences, pain management options, and any concerns you may have. Our maternity team at Thika Sam’s Annex Hospital works with mothers to ensure a supportive, safe, and positive delivery.
5. Postnatal Care is Just as Important
Recovery doesn’t end after delivery. Postnatal visits help mothers heal physically and emotionally. They also ensure the baby is developing well. We encourage all mothers to attend follow-up visits after birth.
Conclusion
Pregnancy is a journey best taken with the right support. With expert care, modern facilities, and compassionate staff, Thika Sam’s Annex Hospital is your trusted partner for safe delivery in Thika.
