Pregnancy Follow-up and Delivery

At Al Massa Polyclinic, pregnancy is tracked according to gestational weeks, calculated based on the date of a woman’s last menstruation. If there is a discrepancy between the date of a woman’s last menstruation and the gestational age it will be found during the early (first trimester) ultrasound and an accurate gestational age will be calculated.

Around the time of the delayed menstruation, a urine or blood test can be performed to determine pregnancy. From there, our specialists will follow up with you to provide you with the utmost care making your pregnancy experience a pleasant one.

Note: please note that delivery will be made in certain certified hospitals in Dubai.
