DURING PREGNANCY

Thanks to the organisation set up by the Obstetrics Department, we are able to:

• Provide care during pregnancies and identifying risk factors during pregnancy through prenatal consultations.
• Accommodate future mothers from 32 weeks
• Arrange for amniocentesis to be carried out by a gynaecologist-obstetrician and an ultrasound technician (as part of ante-natal tests).
• Provide pregnant women with information on what happens during and after labour, and how care is organised.
• Prepare for births with a midwife and coordinate visits of the maternity ward. This is done through a course of eight individual or collective classes, which are reimbursed by social security bodies.
• Classes are available in English. Tel: +377 97 98 95 10.
• Provide specific classes for pregnant women at the St-Charles swimming pool, led by a midwife, from the 4th month of pregnancy. A certificate of medical fitness is required.
• Arrange pre-anaesthesia consultations with a hospital anaesthetist.
• Provide patients with ultrasound scan imagery and monitoring (graphic recording of foetal heart rate and contractions), including in emergencies.
• Work in conjunction with the Archet II hospital as part of the PACA EST–HAUTE CORSE- MONACO perinatal network, and the PMI (maternal and child protection) or proximity centres (Menton-Beausoleil).
