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: education, reminders, and support after the birth. Your newborn is covered by a paediatrician, who bills separately.
What it costs
One price, agreed upfront.
It is one agreed price for the whole episode, not an open-ended fee-for-service bill. 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.
Where
Delivered at hospitals with full facilities.
You deliver at our partner hospital in your city, with comprehensive surgical and neonatal facilities on site, so complications and emergencies are managed where you are. See our sites for locations and phone numbers.
