Ras Al Khaimah, UAE: RAK Hospital has introduced a Royal Maternity Programme designed to provide mothers to be with a range of services during and after pregnancy.
The programme combines usual maternity services with specialised spa treatments to provide pregnant weman and their family members a royal and smooth experience. “Our unique programme offers 24/7 access to obstetrician, Royal Delivery suites, private prenatal classes by experienced midwifes, special antenatal exercise programme, birth preparation, baby care classes and prenatal maternity sessions at our luxurious spa,” said Raza Seddiqi, Executive Director at RAK Hospital.
As for post delivery the services include lactation support and advice for breast-feeding mothers, nutritional diet from ‘a la carte’ menu, daily postnatal checks by the obstetrician, choice of therapies from Spa and Individualized exercise program by Swiss Physiotherapist added Siddiqui
“A massage when you’re pregnant can be a wonderful way to ease an aching back, stiff shoulders and sore hips. The leg treatment reduces water retention and provides an instant lightness and freshness to tired and swollen feet while increasing circulation and restoring energy to fatigued legs,” said Dr Punam Bijlani, Clinical Head – Plastic, Aesthetics and Reconstructive Surgery at RAK Hospital.
Bijlani explained that the post-delivery period is also very vital and so there are treatments that focus on lymphatic drainage and deep massage to reduce ‘saddle bags’. There are also special massages that relieve tension in the whole body.
