Preparing you for Baby
What we do
Simply put, we help you prepare for your baby.
Antenatal Classes
The sessions are hosted for expectant parents in this exciting time. Each session is conducted by an expert midwife with experience in pregnancy and birthing. We discuss everything from good pregnancy nutrition, choosing your birthing center, birthing options, exercise pre-and post natal care and many other insightful topics. In 6 carefully compiled sessions, we prepare you for pregnancy, birthing and a new life with baby. The antenatal classes aim to equip you with all the information needed during pregnancy, delivery and after birth.
Breastfeeding Support
We understanding that breastfeeding is not as easy as it seems. Our trained consultants are professional breastfeeding specialists who teach you how to feed your baby right. In a series of sessions we address your breastfeeding concerns, help moms experiencing some difficulties and give guidance on baby weight. Let us help you prepare to return to work having achieved your breastfeeding goals. We will discuss various options available for breastfeeding equipment and the correct way to store expressed breast milk.
Caregiver Training
As the African proverb says "It takes a village to raise a child" so let us guide your village to care of your little one the best way possible. These sessions are tailored to share knowledge and provide guidance to those looking after your little one. We have tailored sessions and tools for caregivers to easily understand baby care. The sessions cover topics including baby nutrition, bathing and feeding demonstrations, child care, hygiene and the importance of stimulated play.
Available in multiple local languages
Doula Services
A little support goes a long way and that that is what a doula is there for. Our doulas are well trained in childbirth to provide emotional, physical and educational support during the birthing process, especially for first time mothers. Doulas help expectant mothers feel safe, empowered and importantly not alone. In most cases, we recommend this services to expectant moms who have gone through our antenatal classes as the relationship is established some time before the delivery date. However you are not alone if you only need a helping hand on the day.
Meet the Midwife
From one Mama to another
Sr. Christina Siaga
Registered Advanced Midwife & Childbirth Educator
It has been over 40 years since I qualified as a midwife… How time flies! Come to think of it, the first baby I ever delivered is a qualified doctor today. I’ve had a fulfilling lifetime in my midwifery career – honestly I wouldn’t have wanted to spend it any other way. I’ve contributed to building maternity wards and delivering babies to new parents at some of Johannesburg’s finest hospitals. These hospitals include Medi-clinics, Life Healthcare, Netcare and some of the public hospitals to name a few.
I'm not just a career woman, I have 3 beautiful grown daughters of my own – all successful in their own right. I also have 2 happy chaps that just know me as 'Gogo'. So as I take some time to settle down from the hustle of Johannesburg, I find myself with a wealth of knowledge I just need to share. This why Hello Nana was born.
What is more exciting to me than using all my experience to making parenting come naturally to you?
I specialise in the following field of midwifery:
Nursing pregnant woman from conception to delivery | Management of antenatal clinics | Admissions wards | Labour wards | Providing epidural assistance | Normal deliveries | Caesarean sections | High care labour wards | Neonatal ICU | Postnatal ward (Mother & Baby Clinics) | Breastfeeding consultant | Clinical teaching departments
