Top 4 Pregnancy Care Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Pregnancy care (antenatal care) means regular check-ups with an obstetrician from early pregnancy until birth, followed by care after delivery. Visits monitor the mother's blood pressure, weight and general health and the baby's growth and wellbeing. They also include screening tests and scans and planning for delivery. The World Health Organization recommends a first contact in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and at least eight contacts in total. Your doctor may suggest more if your pregnancy needs closer follow-up.

It is worth booking a visit if:

• You have a positive pregnancy test or a missed period and want to confirm the pregnancy and start follow-up.
• You are planning a pregnancy and want advice beforehand, for example about supplements such as folic acid, long-term medicines or existing conditions.
• You have a condition that can make pregnancy higher risk, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, a previous caesarean, previous miscarriage or a twin pregnancy.
• You have been trying to conceive without success and want an assessment.

Seek urgent care, or call 911 in Jordan, if you have any of these during pregnancy:

• Heavy vaginal bleeding, or bleeding with pain.
• Severe or persistent abdominal pain.
• A severe headache, blurred vision, or sudden swelling of the face or hands.
• Fluid leaking from the vagina before your due date.
• The baby moving less than usual, or not moving.
• Fever, fainting, fits or difficulty breathing.
• Thoughts of harming yourself or the baby.

Do not wait for a scheduled appointment if any of these happen.

How to choose among the doctors here

All four doctors list pregnancy care within obstetrics and gynaecology. Their published profiles differ in emphasis, so start from your own situation:

• Is your pregnancy considered higher risk? Two profiles list high-risk pregnancy care. Dr. Maher Maaita's profile is centred on maternal-fetal medicine and fetal health assessment. Dr. Suzan Atamna's covers high-risk follow-up alongside vaginal and caesarean delivery.
• Do you want one doctor from follow-up through delivery? Dr. Suzan Atamna's published services explicitly include vaginal and caesarean delivery. For the other doctors, ask directly whether they attend the birth.
• Did you conceive after difficulty, or are you still trying? Dr. Suzan Atamna, Dr. Lama Al Radaideh and Dr. Fawzia Qasem Al Masri all list infertility assessment.
• Location and routine. Antenatal care means repeated visits over many months. Three doctors are at Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics and one is at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics in Arjan. Choose the one you can reach reliably, including late in pregnancy.
• Delivery hospital. Ask where the doctor delivers babies, and whether that hospital suits your insurance and your plans for labour.

If you are comparing the best pregnancy care specialists in Amman for your needs, the deciding factors are usually fit and practicality: services that match your situation, a hospital you are comfortable with, and a schedule you can keep. A ranking position does not tell you these things.

What to expect at the first visit

The first antenatal visit is usually the longest. The doctor will typically ask about:

• The date of your last period.
• Previous pregnancies and births.
• Your medical and surgical history.
• Your family history and current medicines.

You may have your blood pressure and weight checked and be offered blood and urine tests. An ultrasound may be done to confirm the pregnancy and estimate how many weeks along you are. The doctor will then explain the plan for future visits and screening.

What to bring:

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one.
• Any pregnancy test result, previous scans and recent blood tests.
• A list of all medicines and supplements you take, with their names.
• Reports from previous pregnancies, deliveries or surgeries, especially a previous caesarean.
• Fertility treatment records, if this pregnancy followed treatment.

Useful questions to ask:

• How often will I be seen, and which tests and scans are planned?
• Is anything in my history a reason for closer monitoring?
• Which medicines or supplements should I continue, stop or start?
• Where do you deliver, and who covers when you are unavailable?
• What should I do, and where should I go, if I have bleeding or pain out of hours?

You may wish to bring your partner or a family member for support.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

None of these four profiles currently publishes a consultation fee or a list of accepted insurers. Ask the clinic or hospital directly before your visit:

• Do you accept my insurance for antenatal visits, scans and laboratory tests?
• Does my policy cover delivery, and at which hospital? Is there a waiting period or a pregnancy exclusion?
• What is the consultation fee, and are ultrasound scans charged separately?
• Is there a package for antenatal care or delivery, and what exactly does it include?
• How far ahead do I need to book, and how do I reschedule?

Because opening hours are not confirmed on these profiles, confirm the doctor's clinic days and times when booking. This matters especially for Dr. Fawzia Qasem Al Masri, whose profile notes that her schedule differs from general hospital hours.

Getting there

Amman is the centre of Jordan's healthcare system, serving around 5 million residents. Three of the doctors are based at Abdali Hospital Outpatient Clinics in Abdali. Dr. Fawzia Qasem Al Masri is at Istiklal Hospital Outpatient Clinics in Arjan, on the third floor of the outpatient building, in clinics 309 and 310.

If you live in districts such as Shmeisani, Jubeiha, Sweifieh, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Abdoun, Dabouq, the Gardens or around the 7th Circle, plan your route ahead. Allow extra time for traffic and parking, particularly in later pregnancy. Before an appointment, confirm which building and floor the clinic is in.

In an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Amman has several major hospitals, including Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital. It also helps to know in advance which hospital your own doctor delivers at.
