23.01.2022 The muscles of the pelvic floor often come under great strain during pregnancy and childbirth. Be sure to check in with our onsite physiotherapists during your stay with us as they can assist you with a light postpartum program to improve muscle strength.

22.01.2022 During labour, there’s an increased need to monitor the fetal heart beat. Our state-of-the-art facilities include a central fetal monitoring system in each birthing suite to provide real-time data and immediate care - which is particularly important for high-risk pregnancies.
