For patients · Maternity
Your pregnancy, carried by a team.
From your first booking visit to six weeks after the birth. One team, one plan, one agreed price.
Midwife-led care with specialist cover, booked by week 12, delivered at a partner hospital with full surgical and neonatal facilities. On a designated EMR and POPIA-compliant. Johannesburg and Pretoria.
The journey
Five stages, start to finish.
The same plan runs at every site, so you know what happens next at each step. You can register at any stage and we fit the plan to where you are.
01
Register
Register online in a few minutes. The best time is between weeks 8 and 12, but you can register at any stage and we will fit the plan to where you are.
02
Your booking visit
History, blood tests and a scan. We check your risk at this first visit and agree your care plan. Your price for the whole episode is confirmed after the week-12 assessment.
03
Antenatal care
Scheduled visits and scans through your pregnancy. A midwife leads your care when your pregnancy is low risk. An obstetrician reviews you when it is needed, on written criteria, not guesswork.
04
Your birth
You deliver with the team at the partner hospital, which has full surgical and neonatal facilities on site.
05
After the birth
Postnatal care to six weeks for you and your baby, including a Pap smear through ColpoCare. Then we hand you back to your own doctor with a full record.
Take your journey with you.
The pregnancy companion lives on your phone: your due date, your visit schedule with real dates, and a place for the questions you want to ask. Free, private, and nothing you type leaves your phone.
Who looks after you
A team, each doing what they do best.
A midwife leads your care when your pregnancy is low risk, and sees you at most of your visits. An obstetrician leads the complex decisions and steps in on written criteria.
A care coordinator is your single point of contact for education, reminders, and support after the birth. Your newborn is covered by a paediatrician, who bills separately.
What it costs
One price, agreed upfront.
One agreed price covers the whole episode, from your booking visit to six weeks after the birth. Your price is confirmed after the week-12 assessment and varies by site. Cash and medical-aid pathways are available, and Discovery members can use the global fee where it applies.
Open-ended billing, the usual way
- Every visit, test and scan billed separately
- The total is unclear until the bills arrive
- Surprises are common near the birth
One agreed price, how we work
- One price for the whole episode, agreed before you start
- You know what it is up front
- Fewer surprises when it matters most
