Antenatal care at Silver Acacia is built around continuity: the same midwife, the same obstetrician, and scans and tests done here in New Haven, so you are never sent across Enugu for each one.
A typical low-risk pregnancy with us. If you need closer monitoring, your doctor will add visits and explain exactly why.
A long first appointment covering your history and blood pressure, booking blood tests including genotype, blood group, HIV and hepatitis B, and an early scan to confirm your dates.
Monthly visits with your midwife. We talk through nausea, nutrition, work and travel, and begin malaria prevention in pregnancy as recommended in Nigeria.
A detailed scan of your baby's growth and anatomy at around 20 weeks, and a glucose test between 24 and 28 weeks to check for diabetes in pregnancy.
Visits every two weeks to check your baby's growth and position and your blood pressure. You begin noticing movements daily, and we write your birth plan together.
Weekly visits until labour, then birth in our suite with your midwife. She visits you at home in the first week, and we see you and your baby together at six weeks.
Every package includes your named midwife, consultant reviews and the 24-hour midwife line. Pay in full, or in three instalments across your pregnancy.
For women who plan to give birth elsewhere but want their pregnancy followed closely here.

Caesarean birth, longer stays and specialist tests are quoted separately and always discussed with you in advance. Many HMO plans cover part of antenatal care; we confirm what yours includes before you pay.
Ideally between 6 and 10 weeks, or as soon as you have a positive test. If you are further along, please still come; it is never too late to begin antenatal care.
Yes, and to scans too. Every woman is also offered a few private minutes alone with her midwife at each visit, should she want them.
Yes. Low-risk births take place in our two-room birth suite, and our theatre is ready for caesarean births, with an obstetrician and an anaesthetist on call through the night.
Twins, high blood pressure, diabetes or a previous caesarean do not rule you out. Your consultant plans extra visits and scans, and refers you to a teaching hospital such as UNTH if specialist newborn care may be needed.
We see members of Hygeia HMO, AXA Mansard Health, Reliance HMO, Leadway Health and others. Send your plan details on WhatsApp and we will confirm your cover before your booking visit.
Any earlier scan reports, your genotype result if you have one, a list of medicines you take and your HMO card. There is no need to fast.
