Family Planning
& Birth Control

Family Planning

Family planning is an important event that allows individuals
and couples to make well-informed choices regarding the
timing and number of children they desire. With diverse
contraception options, educational resources and healthcare
assistance, family planning is more accessible to families now
more than ever.

Contraception Options

> Birth Control Pills

This is a pill that is taken daily, which contains hormone progestogen that thickens the cervical mucus to make sperm transport more difficult. It also thins the womb’s lining so that implantation does not take place. Less than one woman in 100 will get pregnant over one year.

 

> Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCD)

This method uses a device the size of a 50-cent coin which is inserted into the womb. The device contains no hormones, and is made of plastic surrounded by a small amount of copper. The copper prevents sperm from reaching the egg and the device changes the womb lining so that implantation does not take place. The chance of getting pregnant while using this method is less than 1% per year. (Souce: Healthhub SG)

 

> Subdermal Implants

A rod the size of a matchstick is inserted under the skin of the upper forearm. The progesterone hormone is slowly released and this prevents ovulation, thickens up the mucous at the cervix and thins out the lining of the womb. The chance of getting pregnant while using this method is less than 1 in 1000 over three years. (Souce: National Institutes of Health)

Pre-Conception Counselling
& Fertility Screening

Pre-Conception Counselling & Fertility Screening

Pre-Conception Counselling and Fertility Screening are
important steps for couples who are planning to have children.
Counselling helps the couple mentally prepare themselves to
become parents, while ensuring a healthy pregnancy and a
positive outcome for the mother and baby. Fertility screening
will help detect any pre-existing conditions and other issues
that could affect pregnancy and the health of the baby.

Family Planning
Subfertility

Subfertility Care

Subfertility Care

Fertility investigations is a very important step for couples who
are facing difficulties becoming parents. These careful checks
include many medical tests to find out what might be causing
problems with getting pregnant. By looking closely at hormone
levels, the body’s reproductive system, and overall health, these
tests can help identify suitable treatments for increasing the
couple’s chances of having a baby.

The fertility tests may include:

> Detailed medical history and physical examination
> Semen analysis (for males)
> Ultrasound scans
> Hysterosalpingography (HSG), and ovulation assessment.

Pregnancy Care & Birth Plan

Pregnancy Care

Our healthcare team guides and supports expectant mothers throughout pregnancy. They monitor the baby’s growth, offer essential medical tests, and provide expert advice on nutrition, exercise, and overall well-being. Regular check-ups ensures that potential issues are addressed promptly, leading to a safe and joyful pregnancy experience. The team contributes to the well-being of both mother and baby, from conception to delivery.

Birth Plan

A birth plan is a platform for mothers-to-be to indicate their wishes on how they would like the birth of the baby to be. Both the mother and father should discuss with their obstetrician, the types of birth choices and what may be most suitable for them.

3D Fetal Scan

3D Fetal Ultrasound Scanning

3D Fetal Ultrasound Scanning

3D fetal scanning is a medical imaging technique used during pregnancy to provide intricate details of the developing baby in three dimensions. It uses sound waves to create cross-sectional images that are then reconstructed to generate a 3D image of the baby inside the womb.
 

First Trimester Screening (OSCAR)

First Trimester Screening (OSCAR)

The First Trimester Screening or OSCAR (One-Stop Clinic for Assessment of Risk for fetal anomalies) test, is a prenatal screening procedure performed within the initial three months of pregnancy. This assessment comprises multiple evaluations aimed at gauging the likelihood of specific chromosomal irregularities and developmental anomalies in the growing fetus.

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a type of prenatal screening test that assesses the risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities and genetic conditions in the developing fetus with a higher degree of accuracy. This test is a simple blood test performed during the first trimester of pregnancy.

NIPT can screen for:

> Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome): This is a genetic disorder caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to developmental and intellectual challenges.

> Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome): Another chromosomal disorder, which results in severe developmental delays and organ abnormalities.

> Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome): A rare genetic condition causing various birth defects and intellectual disabilities.

> Sex chromosome abnormalities and determine the baby’s sex early in pregnancy.

First Trimester Pre-Eclampsia Screening

First Trimester Pre-Eclampsia Screening

The First Trimester Pre-Eclampsia Screening is a prenatal screening test usually conducted during the first trimester of pregnancy. The test assesses the risk of the mother developing pre-eclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication characterised by high blood pressure and damage to organs, typically affecting the mother’s liver and kidneys.

Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis

Amniocentesis is a medical procedure conducted during pregnancy to collect amniotic fluid from the amniotic sac surrounding the developing fetus. A thin needle, guided by ultrasound imaging, will be inserted through the mother’s abdominal wall into the amniotic sac.

The collected amniotic fluid contains fetal cells and substances that offer crucial information about the health and development of the baby. Usually performed between 15 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, amniocentesis can test for:

> Genetic Testing – It can detect chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13.

> Neural Tube Defects – It can also screen for neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.

> Lung Maturity – In certain cases, it is used to assess fetal lung maturity, especially when considering early delivery.

While amniocentesis provides valuable insights, it is an invasive procedure carrying a slight risk of complications, including miscarriage. The decision to undergo amniocentesis is made based on the individual’s medical history, risk factors, and discussions with healthcare providers regarding the procedure’s benefits and risks.
