Antenatal Care Traditionally involves a number of routine visits for assessment. We provides clinical assessment of mother and unborn baby during pregnancy, for the purpose of obtaining the best possible outcome for the mother and child. This is achieved by screening and assessments using a combination of methods, including biochemical, haematological and ultrasound.
What happens during Antenatal Care visits?
The antenatal care you get throughout your pregnancy depends
on many factors:
o
Your past obstetric, medical and surgical
histories.
o
Your current state of health and welfare of your
baby.
o
Your stage of pregnancy or gestational age.
o Your current antenatal record and problems you may be experiencing.
There will be a number of checks, scans, tests and
discussions such as:
o
When the baby is due, what trimester you are in
and what this means for you and your baby
o
Finding out about your medical history, general
health and how any previous pregnancies were
