Antenatal Care

Antenatal Care for Expecting Teenage Mothers

After Identifying And Establishing Rapport With Pregnant Teenagers,

 we initiate our antenatal care program by signing a consent form outlining the support and services we will provide throughout their pregnancy journey. Our antenatal care program encompasses the following components:

Guidance and Counselling

We Provide Individual And Group Counselling Sessions To Help Young Mothers Navigate The Emotional, Social, And Depressing Challenges They Face During Pregnancy.

This includes topics such as healthy lifestyle habits, coping strategies, and preparing for childbirth and parenthood. For the girls whose boyfriends are known, we involve them in planning for the unborn child. We utilise the opportunity to educate the couples about the dangers of unplanned pregnancies and explain the sexual reproduction methods that will help prevent future unintended pregnancies. Throughout the pregnancy, we offer emotional support, and equip young mothers with knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.

Mama Kits and Non-Food Items

To Ensure That Teenage Mothers Have Access To Essential Items For Their Health And Wellbeing, We Distribute Mama Kits Containing Necessary Supplies For Pregnancy, Childbirth, And Postnatal Care.

 Additionally, we provide non-food items such as clothing, hygiene products, and baby supplies. We are aware that the teenage moms are stressed out because of the pregnancy, as such, we provide them with mama kits to ease that stress and to prepare adequately for the unborn child. These  necessities  help ease the financial burden and ensure both mother and child have access to the resources they need.

Home Visits

Our Team Conducts Regular Home Visits To Monitor The Progress Of Teenage Mothers, Identify Any Potential Risks Or Concerns, And Provide Personalized Support.

This allows us to build strong relationships with the mothers and create a supportive environment for the beneficiaries in their pregnancy journey.

Regular medical Checkups

In Collaboration With Local Healthcare Facilities, We Arrange For Expecting Teenage Mothers To Receive Essential Medical Services, Such As Monitoring Blood Pressure, Weight, And Fetal Development.

We facilitate routine checkups to monitor the health and wellbeing of both the mother and the developing fetus. These visits help ensure early detection and intervention for potential complications. We also ensure that the mothers have folic acid supplements to support the healthy development of the fetus and reduce the risk of birth defects.
