With the distinctive program of the Pregnancy Academy opening at Can Hastanesi, we aim to help shape the future of expectant mothers through the roadmap we offer.
Who We Are at the Pregnancy Academy
At the Pregnancy Academy, we aim to help expectant mothers reach their full potential by putting the knowledge gained through education into active use. With our experienced, expert team of educators, we plan to offer training tailored to each mother, keeping her individual needs at the forefront. Our teaching team brings together specialist physicians in obstetrics and gynecology and in pediatrics, the midwives responsible for our clinic, a psychologist, a physiotherapist and dietitians.
Our Educational Approach at the Pregnancy Academy
With a curriculum that we continuously update to meet today’s needs, we will create an environment in which expectant mothers not only gain knowledge but also develop the skills to put that knowledge into practice.
What Does Our Pregnancy Academy Program Cover?
The Pregnancy Academy is an information platform offering education, counseling and guidance on pregnancy. From before conception through to birth, it informs, supports and educates expectant mothers and couples together.
Our Course Topics
Preconception Preparation: Covers the steps and health check-ups couples need for a healthy pregnancy. Information is provided on screening tests in pregnancy, immunization, risk factors and emergencies, and healthy lifestyle habits.
Preparing for Birth: Detailed information is given about the course of pregnancy, and sessions are held on the changes experienced during this time. Exercises that make labor easier and relaxation exercises are also among the topics covered in this stage.
Labor and Birth: Information is provided about what happens during labor. Training covers the signs that labor has started, a checklist for arriving at the hospital, anesthesia options and interventions during birth, and birth options.
The Postpartum Period: Offers guidance on the period after birth and the postpartum recovery phase. Newborn screening tests, baby care, breast milk, breastfeeding and breast care are the core topics of this stage. Postpartum medical aesthetics and well-child check-ups are also covered.
Nutrition and Health Counseling: Nutrition, exercise and general health during pregnancy are further topics that are covered and emphasized in the program.
