Selecting an appropriate clinic for antenatal care represents one of the most significant decisions during pregnancy. Comprehensive support is offered throughout the entire gestational period, with care delivered by an experienced obstetrician in a private, comfortable setting. Initial appointments can be scheduled immediately upon confirming pregnancy, ensuring that both mother and baby receive the best possible care from the earliest stages.
Obstetrician-Led Maternity Care
The facility provides obstetrician-led maternity services, which differ fundamentally from midwife-led care. While midwife-led care is appropriate for many straightforward pregnancies, specialist obstetric consultation and ongoing management may be warranted in several situations:
- When a GP or midwife recommends specialist consultation due to identified risk factors
- During complicated or high-risk pregnancies, including conditions such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or placenta previa
- Following previous difficult pregnancies or deliveries where complications arose
- When expecting multiple babies (twins, triplets, or more), which require closer monitoring
- When patients prefer the reassurance and expertise of obstetrician-directed care, even for uncomplicated pregnancies
Comprehensive Antenatal Services
Individualized antenatal care is provided based on each patient’s unique needs and circumstances. The range of services includes:
- Regular health check-ups: Routine appointments to monitor the health and development of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy, including blood pressure monitoring, weight checks, and urine analysis.
- Diagnostic ultrasound scans: Scheduled imaging to track fetal growth, development, and positioning, along with additional screening evaluations when medically indicated.
- Nutritional guidance: Expert dietary advice to support a healthy pregnancy, including recommendations for essential vitamins, folic acid supplementation, and balanced nutrition.
- Birth planning and preparation: Detailed discussions about delivery options, pain relief methods, and creating a personalized birth plan that aligns with the patient’s preferences and medical needs.
- Symptom management: Addressing common pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness, back pain, swelling, and fatigue, as well as managing more complex complications that may arise.
- Delivery support: Full obstetric support during labor and delivery, including vaginal delivery assistance and Caesarean section when necessary, performed by an experienced surgical team.
Why Choose Private Antenatal Care
Private antenatal care ensures continuity of care with the same specialist throughout your pregnancy journey. This consistent relationship allows your obstetrician to develop a thorough understanding of your medical history, pregnancy progress, and individual needs, resulting in more personalized and responsive care at every stage.
Pregnancy follow-up at UCARER Women’s Health, Bahçeşehir
Your pregnancy is followed by two experienced obstetrician–gynaecologists, Assist. Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Uçarer and Op. Dr. Meryem Gökkaya Uçarer, who together have more than three decades of clinical experience and over 20,000 births. A female obstetrician (Dr. Meryem) is available for patients who prefer one. The clinic is located in Bahçeşehir (Başakşehir district), Istanbul, and deliveries are performed at the JCI-accredited Acıbadem Hospital.
Our fetal screening and perinatology protocol
Every pregnancy is followed with regular ultrasound and clinical monitoring. Our approach to detecting fetal anomalies is thorough and uses non-invasive methods:
- First-trimester combined (“dual”) test and, where appropriate, NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing) for chromosomal risk assessment — no risk to the baby.
- Around the 20th week, every patient is offered a detailed fetal anomaly ultrasound together with a perinatology consultation from a professor-level perinatology specialist, so that any finding is evaluated at the highest level.
- If a pregnancy becomes higher-risk, it is managed by an experienced obstetrician — see high-risk pregnancy care and NIPT & prenatal screening.
Guideline-based, personal care
Antenatal follow-up here is based on international guidelines — the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and the Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (TJOD) — combined with continuity of care from the same obstetrician throughout your pregnancy.
