Antenatal & Postnatal Care in Dubai
From the first positive test to the weeks after the birth: regular, unhurried check-ups with a specialist who knows you.
Who this care is for
Antenatal care is for every pregnant woman, from early pregnancy to delivery. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, regular check-ups are how small things get noticed while they are still small. They are also where you get answers to the hundred questions every pregnancy raises.
Postnatal care follows you after the birth. It covers your recovery, healing after delivery or Cesarean, feeding questions, contraception planning, and anything that worries you about your own health.
What to expect at your visits
Your first antenatal visit is the longest. Dr. Kehail takes your history in detail, examines you, and sets a schedule of check-ups that fits your pregnancy. Visits are more spaced out early on and closer together toward the end.
Every visit after that has a rhythm: how you are feeling, how the baby is developing, and what to expect before you next come in. Nothing is rushed, and no question is too small to ask. Visits happen in English or Arabic, whichever is more comfortable.
How Dr. Kehail approaches it
Thirty years of obstetrics have a way of making a doctor calm. Dr. Kehail has followed pregnancies at Latifa Hospital, Dubai Hospital, and the Royal London Hospital, and she brings that depth to routine care. She examines you personally at every visit, and she plans your care herself rather than handing you along.
Her rule for visits is simple: you leave knowing exactly how things stand and what happens next.
Is this the right service for me?
If you are pregnant, or planning to be, this is where care begins. If your pregnancy has been flagged as higher-risk, or a previous one was complicated, read about high-risk pregnancy care. It adds closer monitoring to everything described here.
Common questions
When should I book my first pregnancy appointment?
Most women come in once a home test is positive, usually around weeks six to eight. If you have a chronic condition or a previous pregnancy was complicated, come earlier. Dr. Kehail will advise you personally.
How often are check-ups during pregnancy?
It depends on your pregnancy. As a general pattern visits are more spaced out early on and become more frequent toward the end. Dr. Kehail sets your schedule with you at the first visit.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly with the clinic by phone, WhatsApp, or the contact form.
What does postnatal care include?
Follow-up on your recovery and healing, feeding questions, contraception planning, and anything that concerns you about your health after the birth. No question is too small.
