Prenatal Care

Overview of Prenatal Care Treatment in Singapore

Prenatal care at Orchard Health Clinic supports mothers through each stage of pregnancy with a focus on musculoskeletal well-being, postural balance, and physical comfort. Pregnancy introduces natural changes to the body, and our approach is tailored to manage discomfort and promote stability as the pregnancy progresses.

Through gentle manual techniques, posture support, and targeted movement guidance, we work alongside expectant mothers to prepare their bodies for the months ahead. Our practitioners at Orchard Health Clinic focus on restoring and maintaining function across all body systems in a safe and supportive environment.

Benefits of Prenatal Care

Prenatal care may provide several benefits for expectant mothers and their babies. Regular sessions have been associated with reduced back pain, improved posture, and enhanced circulation. Addressing physical discomfort during pregnancy can contribute to overall well-being and help prepare the body for labour. This approach supports both physical and mental health throughout the course of pregnancy.

What Are Prenatal Care Services?

First Trimester

During the early weeks, treatment focuses on easing fatigue, nausea, and any developing musculoskeletal strain. Adjustments to posture and light movement guidance can help accommodate early changes in the pelvis and lower back.

Second Trimester

As the baby grows, the shift in weight can place more demand on the spine, hips, and legs. We assist with managing pelvic pain, sciatica, or tension in the lower back, offering supportive care to help maintain daily comfort.

What to Expect During a Prenatal Care Session

During the initial visit, the practitioners at Orchard Health Clinic will carry out a gentle assessment to understand the stage of pregnancy, any areas of discomfort, and specific goals. Sessions typically involve posture guidance, manual techniques such as prenatal massage, and movement recommendations suited to the individual. Each appointment lasts approximately 50 to 60 minutes and is adjusted according to the trimester and individual needs.

Who Needs Prenatal Care?

Prenatal Care for Specific Needs

For mothers with high-risk pregnancies or a history of injury, treatments are adjusted to prioritise safety and comfort. Support may also be provided for managing ongoing conditions such as chronic back pain or addressing concerns related to foetal positioning, such as breech presentation. Care is tailored to meet the needs of each pregnancy.

Mothers Experiencing Discomfort

Pregnancy can come with back pain, hip pressure, or muscle tightness. Mothers experiencing these physical changes may benefit from early support to manage strain and maintain function.

Those Preparing for Labour

Prenatal care can help condition the body for delivery by promoting flexibility, posture control, and pelvic balance. This may support a smoother physical transition during labour.

Mothers with a History of Musculoskeletal Issues

Those with prior injuries or chronic conditions may find additional support through targeted care. Prenatal treatment may help reduce the risk of discomfort as the pregnancy progresses.

Transition to Postnatal Care

After delivery, our prenatal care seamlessly transitions into postnatal support, helping mothers recover strength, realign posture, and ease new physical demands. Learn more about our postnatal services.
