Our multidisciplinary team ensures a healthy pregnancy by giving the right care at every stage from preconception and pregnancy to postpartum care.
Understanding Integrated Maternal Wellness
Integrated maternal wellness consists of three main components, i.e., dietitian counselling, physiotherapy and psychological support. These components help address the significant physical, nutritional, and emotional changes that an expecting mother has to go through on the journey.
Our experts review pregnancy risks such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure (preeclampsia), preterm labour, pregnancy-related discomfort and anxiety, offering evidence-based plans.

Our integrated maternal wellness programme backed by dietitian counselling, physiotherapy, and psychology services offers the following benefits:
- Optimize maternal nutrition to prevent gestational diabetes, anaemia, and low birth weight.
- Help address prenatal/postpartum-related anxiety, depression, and bonding difficulties.

What is the best diet for a Pregnant woman?
A balanced, nutrient-dense diet is best for pregnancy. Your dietitian may recommend a diet consisting of whole grains; lean proteins (fish, poultry, beans); colourful fruits/vegetables; and pasteurised dairy. Follow your dietitian's advice for the required nutrition.
What are the Psychological needs of a Pregnant woman ?
Expecting mothers should focus on emotional stability, security, and coping with significant life changes through professional maternal psychological counselling. Pregnant women should openly communicate about stress, anxiety, mood changes, or emotional challenges with their family, partner, or peer groups. This helps reduce depression, stress, and the risk of perinatal mood disorders.
Classification by time phases: Immediate (acute) phase; early (subacute) phase; late (extended) phase; long‑term or extended follow‑up.
Classification by area of care: Maternal postnatal care; newborn postnatal care; psychosocial and mental‑health care; family planning and reproductive care.
The other two classifications are based on service type (routine care and specialised care) and Setting type (facility-based care and home-based care).
