Your Journey to a Healthy Pregnancy: A Guide from a Mother and Obstetrician

Embracing Serenity: A mother-to-be practices prenatal yoga at sunrise, nurturing her body and mind.

Hello, I’m Dr. Vineshree Govender, an obstetrician and gynaecologist in Chatsworth, Durban and also a proud mother myself. As both a doctor and a mum, I understand the excitement, concerns, and emotions that come with pregnancy.

I’ve been through the journey myself, and I’m here to guide you through yours, ensuring that you and your baby receive the best possible care every step of the way.

Why Prenatal Care Matters

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also bring uncertainty. Many moms-to-be ask:

• “Am I doing everything right for my baby?”

• “How do I navigate all the changes in my body?”

• “Where can I find trusted guidance during my pregnancy?”

  
  

You deserve clear, expert care and support so you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying your pregnancy and preparing for the arrival of your little one.

The Essentials of Prenatal Care

1. Regular Check-Ups for You and Baby

Your baby’s growth and your well-being are our top priorities. Routine check-ups help track your baby’s development, identify potential concerns early, and ensure you receive the best possible medical care.

2. A Healthy Pregnancy Diet

Eating the right nutrients helps your baby develop while keeping your energy levels stable.

As a mom myself, I know how hard pregnancy cravings can be to manage! I’ll guide you with practical, balanced meal ideas that support a healthy pregnancy.

3. Emotional & Mental Well-being

Pregnancy is as much an emotional journey as a physical one.

Having gone through three pregnancies myself, I understand how overwhelming it can feel. Managing stress is important for both you and your baby—I’ll help you find techniques that work, whether it’s mindfulness, rest, or light exercise.

4. Preparing for Labour and Birth

One of the biggest concerns for expecting moms is labour and delivery. I take the time to explain your birthing options, help you prepare for delivery, and ensure you feel empowered and confident in your birth plan.
