Specialized Clinical Support
Prenatal Anesthesia Clinic
To provide moms with a better painless delivery experience, we offer prenatal anesthesia consultations. This allows moms to understand labor analgesia in advance and determine if their physical condition is suitable for specific methods, ensuring a safe and comfortable delivery.
Anesthesiologists will assess your medical history, surgical history, and medication history. Pre-consultation helps alleviate anxiety and improves the safety and effectiveness of the analgesia.
Midwife Clinic
Our midwives are professional nurses who specialize in the entire labor process. They monitor every change during labor and provide expert support. In developed countries, midwives are the primary guardians of the birthing process, focusing on women’s needs and providing continuous care. Consultations include:
- Preparation for labor and delivery
- Humanized labor support
- Effective non-pharmacological pain relief methods
- Assisting with the creation of a birth plan
- Postpartum care consultation
- Breastfeeding guidance
Nutrition Clinic
Proper nutritional management ensures the health of both mother and baby. We provide individualized nutritional assessments and plans, especially for moms at risk of metabolic diseases. We recommend a visit if any of the following apply:

- History of Gestational Diabetes (GDM) or current GDM diagnosis
- Severe morning sickness with weight loss > 5%
- Rapid weight gain (e.g., > 2kg in early pregnancy, > 1kg per week in mid/late stages)

Breast milk is the best food for your baby. While promoting its benefits, we focus on providing mothers with specialized, detailed guidance. Our experienced lactation consultants provide one-on-one support to help you master the correct methods and skills for a successful breastfeeding journey.
