We can never thank the amazing Vitalab staff enough. We are complete…
Dear Dr Unterslak and team at Vitalab
It is with such joy and gratitude that we wish to share the news of baby Thomas Stephen Hooper’s safe arrival on the 26 September.
Thank you so much for the role you played in helping us to fall pregnant and for all the support and good wishes. Thomas is an answer to many prayers and a healing blessing. His brother and sister are overjoyed to have a little brother and love him to bits, as do we all.
Thank you for the really special work you do.
Best wishes and kind regards

Ashleigh Ann du Plessis
What an incredible day today has been ♥️
Exactly 2 years ago today we had our first appointment at Vitalab, where our journey began.
Exactly one year ago, I turned 30 while lying in hospital bed, very sick from my pregnancy, but feeling incredibly blessed to be pregnant with my miracles.
Today I got to wake up to and come home to those miracles, to the greatest gifts in the world, gifts that nothing could possibly compare to! Today was my greatest birthday yet! Today I am a MOM on my birthday 🥰🥰
There was a time where I felt this dream was unattainable, but today my dream is my reality.
Greatest gift and greatest honour is being your mom Ava and Emma
From the Pienaar family:
After 26 months of heartache, tears and pain, we got the best news in the world in December 2016, thanks to Dr. Gobetz and all the assistance of the Vitalab staff. The comfort, support and hope that Vitalab and Dr Gobetz gave us helped us push through the ups and downs of infertility. Everyone treated us like family and their professionalism and love for what they do was remarkable.
From the Panayi family:
Thank you to Dr Yossi and his incredible team and Vitalab for granting our wish, make our dream come true,for answering our prayer! Words cannot even begin to express how much happiness you have given us! May you always be blessed with an abundance of love and joy!
From the Van Den Berg family:
Dr Chris Venter and Team thank you very much for our beautiful twin boys Bismark 2,890kg and Darius 2,570kg born 16 Mei 2017. You made all our dreams come true and we are endlessly indebted to you.
From the Sewchuran family:
On behalf of my husband, Jiten Sewchuran and myself Vigeshree Sewchuran, I would like to send a very special thank you to Dr Mervwyn Jacobson and his team for everything that they have done in helping us becoming proud parents of little baby Aarya Sewchuran, born on 07 July 2017 at 06:36. Weighing 3.55kg at birth and 51cm. We were told that we would never have kids, but through God’s grace I found out about Vitalab and Dr Jacobson.
To Everyone at Vitalab
We could not wait to introduce our bundle of joy, Noah.
We are all doing very well. He weighed 3,2kg and measured 50cm. Very healthy and happy.
Sister Ann, thank you for being so efficient and organizing our protocols. Waiting for your phone call on the 6th of April, is one I will never forget, you gave us the best news ever, “It’s a positive, you’re pregnant”.
Dr Venter thank you for your patience when we asked one hundred questions. Thank you for making us comfortable and for all your reassurance throughout the process. You always gave us hope, even when it all seemed impossible.
Greg and I wanted to thank you all for what you have done for us and for never giving up on our dream to have a child.
Words cannot express the joy that parenthood has brought to our lives. Every moment with our little guy is precious.We will be forever grateful. Forever thankful .
Gobetz en span
Dit is met soveel dankbaarheid in ons harte wat ek graag vir julle wil laat weet dat ons seun op 20 Augustus 2018 gebore is op 38 weke, hy het 2.67kg geweeg en was 49cm lank. Hy is pragtig en gesond.
Dankie is so klein en eenvoudige woordjie wat nie kan beskryf hoe opreg dankbaar ons is vir elkeen van julle by Vitalab nie.
Ons lewe is nou perfek met hom by ons en die leemte in ons harte gevul met soveel liefde, geluk en dankbaarheid.
Ons ervaring was van dag 1 af so positief by julle. Elke vriendelike gesig en julle woorde van omgee en bemoediging het ons gedra en nuwe hoop gegee, dankie daarvoor. Dankie vir wat julle vir so baie van ons beteken, dit is nie altyd n maklike pad nie maar Vitalab maak dit moontlik.
Baie baie dankie vir hierdie groot wonderwerk in ons lewe.
Mag julle almal net geseend wees.
Groete,
Lisa Meyer McLaren
For years we struggled to conceive. We attempted AI, on the second try I conceived…but unfortunately, I miscarried at 9 weeks. We immediately tried AI again and luckily, I conceived again which resulted in my first son. He is 9 years old now and thriving!
We then tried AI 5 more times…but nothing happened. This was when I approached Vitalab in 2016. I was heading towards my 40th birthday and knew I wanted another child.
I was seen by Dr Volschenk. We did IVF. My IVF was successful on the first attempt. We were thrilled!
My beautiful son was born via c section on the 17th August 2017. He only weighed 1,9 kgs…but scored very high on the Agar scale. They said he was more active than all the bigger babies in the ward!
We named our little miracle Aiden Noah McLaren. He now is a beautiful and lively 2-year-old! We are absolutely thrilled with our miracle babies and our family is complete. … thank you so much for helping us complete our beautiful family.

Jennifer Hillier
We started our Journey with Vitalab on the 14 of February 2020. We finally got answers as to why we hadn’t fallen pregnant yet and IVF was our path. This is all the syringes from an egg collection, a fresh transfer, and 2 frozen transfers. Our third and final embaby decided to stay. 20 weeks pregnant with our baby boy and so grateful to the Umhlanga team for all the support and love. #ivfwarrior
