 Pregnancy can be an exciting journey, but it can also come with a lot of uncertainty. From understanding test results and preparing for appointments to knowing what is normal, managing anxiety and getting ready for labour, expecting mothers often have countless questions  and not always enough reliable information at their fingertips. PreggyCheck is a pregnancy companion app created by award-winning obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Qinisile “Dr Q” Cele, a mother of four with more than 18 years of experience in women’s health. We speak to Dr Q about what inspired her to create PreggyCheck, why localised maternal healthcare matters, and what a truly South African pregnancy companion should look like.
