Pregnancy

Ante-Natal Care
Ante Natal Care is provided by the midwives. Your first appointment will usually be in the 'booking clinic' which takes place on Friday Afternoons.

You are welcome to book directly into this clinic as soon as you discover you are pregnant with an over-the-counter urine pregnancy test. Book at reception or, if you have registered for the service, online via EMIS ACCESS.

You will normally have one appointment shortly after that at the hospital for your first scan, and your midwife will tell you about all the services that are available for you after that.

Post-Natal Care
After delivery and on leaving the hospital you will routinely be visited by one of the midwives attached to the practice. They will have regular contact with you for the first few weeks.

At around eight weeks following delivery you will be given an appointment for a post-natal check. This does not involve an examination but is an opportunity for a doctor to check that everything is well with both yourself and baby.
