Antenatal care will start from approximately 34 weeks of pregnancy. Appointments will usually be at week 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 42 weeks of pregnancy or until your baby arrives.
Appointments will be in your own home each lasting 1-2 hours and if you wish, I can also accompany and support you at your hospital appointments.
At each appointment I will offer to complete a holistic assessment, a physical check of mum and baby, measure baby (after week 24), listen to the heartbeat (after week 16), take your blood pressure and test your urine. You will be offered a customized growth chart, as recommended by The Perinatal Institute.
We will also discuss your options, choices and birth planning. Your appointments include parent education and if you wish, colostrum harvesting. Throughout your pregnancy I can provide you with useful information and advice to help you and baby have a healthy pregnancy.
Appointments are arranged at a time convenient for you and your family. Your family can be involved in your antenatal care if you wish.
I am always available via telephone/text/email throughout your pregnancy for any questions or concerns you may have.
Private scans and blood tests can be included in your care. Scans take place at a private clinic near you and blood tests can be completed by me at your antenatal appointments
