About this service
Antenatal check-ups in Windhoek at Eastgate Clinic follow you and your baby through pregnancy with regular visits to your doctor in our rooms. These appointments monitor your health and your baby's growth, check your blood pressure and weight, and give you a chance to ask questions as your pregnancy progresses. Your first visit is usually the most thorough, confirming dates and general health, with follow-up visits scheduled at appropriate intervals afterwards.
Whether this is your first pregnancy or you have been through it before, regular antenatal care helps pick up any concerns early. Book your first check-up with us to begin your pregnancy journey with proper support.

Frequently asked questions
When should I book my first antenatal check-up?
Book as soon as you know you are pregnant, ideally in the first twelve weeks. An early first visit lets your doctor confirm your dates, take a full history and plan any tests or scans.
What happens at an antenatal check-up?
Your doctor checks your blood pressure, weight and general wellbeing, and later in pregnancy checks your baby's growth and heartbeat. There is always time for your questions.
How often are antenatal visits during pregnancy?
Visits are usually a few weeks apart in early pregnancy and become more frequent as your due date approaches. Your doctor will set a schedule that suits you and your baby.
