Antenatal Care

Booking a Visit to the Womens Health Group You will be invited to attend a booking visit where you will see Jo your Specialist Midwife Sonographer. This is important, as it is necessary to obtain and record your personal and family history. This visit will also provide your first ultrasound scan and a set of bloods will also be taken. Please allow 30 minutes for this appointment. Following this you will be seen for regular visits at Women’s Health Group.

Your Antenatal Records
Later on in your pregnancy you will be encouraged to carry your own current antenatal record. The advantage of carrying your own record is that, when attending your GP, Women’s Health Group or the hospital, there is access to a fully updated record of your care.
