Every pregnancy is a miracle—and every mother deserves safe, compassionate care. Sadly, maternal mortality remains high in Nigeria due to preventable complications. At Tender Link Medical Services, we are committed to changing that by providing quality maternal healthcare for every stage of motherhood.

Before Birth: Antenatal Care

Regular antenatal visits help track your baby’s growth and your health.
During these visits, our doctors:

  • Monitor blood pressure and weight

  • Conduct ultrasound scans

  • Test for infections and anemia

  • Provide supplements (iron, folic acid)

  • Educate mothers on nutrition and delivery planning

During Delivery

Safe delivery depends on having skilled professionals and a hygienic environment. Tender Link’s maternity ward provides:

  • Experienced midwives and obstetricians

  • Modern delivery rooms

  • Emergency support for complications

After Birth: Postnatal Care

The journey continues after delivery. Postnatal visits ensure both mother and baby recover well.
We check:

  • Blood pressure and bleeding

  • Infant feeding and weight gain

  • Emotional well-being (postpartum depression awareness)

Nutrition and Recovery

Eat iron-rich foods (beans, vegetables, fish) and stay hydrated. Avoid heavy lifting until cleared by your doctor.

A healthy mother equals a healthy family. Regular antenatal and postnatal visits at Tender Link ensure safety for both mother and child.
