Maternity

The place for new beginnings

Are you pregnant or planning for a baby? At Botshilu Private hospital we pride ourselves in providing the highest standard of clinical care for both mother and baby. Our Obstetricians and Paediatricians work in collaboration with our Maternity staff to ensure that all our expectant parents and families receive the highest standard of care.

All the Midwifery and nursing staff in our Maternity Unit are competent and skilled to care for you during your stay with us. We are dedicated to ensuring your first few days as a parent are supported and focused on your individual needs.

Birthing Plans & Options

Some people choose to have a birth plan. If not, our antenatal classes will help shed more light on this.

It is very important that you discuss your plan with your obstetrician and midwifery staff. This will give us an opportunity to let you know what we have available to meet your wishes and what is safe and practical according to your individual circumstance.

You will need to be flexible and be prepared to do things differently if complications arise for you or your baby. Childbirth is not always “normal” and intervention may be required under certain circumstances. I

Monitoring your baby during labour

To assist us to provide optimum care of your baby during labour and birth it is important that your baby’s heart rate is monitored. Depending on the situation there are different ways that this can be done:

  • Using a small portable ultrasound (doppler)
  • Using a machine called a CTG (cardiotocograph). The baby’s heart rate and your contractions are monitored electronically

At Botshilu Private Hospital’s maternity facilities a CTG is performed on admission. The CTG is repeated intermittently throughout your labour unless there are indications for continual CTG monitoring.

Meal Times

Breakfast 08:00 – 08:30
Lunch 12:00 – 13:00
Supper 17:00 – 18:00

Family Visiting Hours

Dads 08:00 – 20:00
Grandparents & baby’s siblings 15:00 – 16:00
In all general wards visitors are restricted to 2 visitors per patient and we discourage children visiting for infection control reasons.

FAQ's

We understand your anxiety and need to plan in advance for any eventuality. If you have any questions, the below answers can help shed more light.

Choosing Birth Plan

Some people choose to have a birth plan. They see it as an opportunity to write down any thoughts or wishes they have about their labour and /or stay in hospital.

It is very important that you discuss your plan with your Obstetrician and midwifery staff. This will give us an opportunity to let you know what we have available to meet your wishes and what is safe and practical according to your individual circumstances.

You will need to be flexible and be prepared to do things differently if complications arise for you or your baby. Childbirth is not always “normal” and intervention may be required under certain circumstances.

If intervention is required your Obstetrician/midwife will explain why the intervention is necessary and the associated risks and benefits of the intervention.

If you have any questions in relation to this information please do not hesitate to contact your Obstetrician and the maternity unit you have chosen to have your baby.

Am I allowed a support person during delivery?

If you are having an elective (planned) caesarean section with an epidural, you will most likely be able to have one support person. However, this decision is dependent on your Doctor and the Anaesthetist. It is important for you to ask when you are planning your caesarean section. Should you require an emergency caesarean section your support person / partner may not be allowed to attend.

Can I bring my phone?

Mobile phones can interfere with electronic medical equipment. For the comfort of other patients we ask that mobile phones not be used in corridors or reception areas.

Where do I park?

Please ask at the main entrance gate.

Is internet access available?

Yes

Will there be any additional fees?

Costs for obstetric, anaesthetic and paediatric services are contracted between your self and the individual practitioner & may attract additional fees. Please discuss fees and costs with the individual specialist.

Do I need to book for antenatal classes?

Yes.

Do I need an Obstetrician to book in?

Yes. There is a list of accredited Obstetricians on our website.

What is an antenatal card?

Your card will be given to you by your Obstetrician at your first appointment. Please carry it with you at all times.

When are the maternity tours?

To liaise with Sr on call

Can I bring valuable items?

We encourage you to leave anything of value, such as jewellery, at home. Botshilu Private Hospital is unable to accept responsibility for the loss of valuables or money.
