Antenatal Care
At your initial booking we will discuss with you your medical history and ask for details about any previous pregnancies.  This will enable us to establish whether any additional medical care is required during your pregnancy.

Each Antenatal check will consist of blood pressure check, urinalysis and fetal heart monitoring using an ultrasound doppler.  We will measure your fundal height to check that baby is growing at the appropriate rate, palpate your abdomen  (from approx. 28 weeks we will be able to tell you what position your baby is lying in your uterus).  We will  answer any questions you may have and ask you the appropriate questions to reassure us that your pregnancy is progressing normally.  If at any of your Antenatal checks we are concerned in any way regarding either yours or your baby's health, we will telephone the hospital you are booked with for the delivery of your baby and arrange for you to be seen by an Obstetrician the same day.

Any ultrasound scans and blood tests required can be organised for you at the hospital where you will be giving birth.

Booking Consultation - Anytime from 10 weeks gestation

All sessions we have with you will take place in the comfort and privacy of your own home and at a time to suit you.
