Antenatal care

Antenatal care means the care you get while you are pregnant.

Most of this care is given by our community midwife teams. You may also come to the maternity hospital for ultrasound scans to check your baby.

Every pregnancy is different. Some people may need extra care for themselves or their baby. We have special help for things like:

  • Screening tests
  • Diabetes
  • Medical conditions
  • Choosing how to give birth
  • Birth after a caesarean
  • Vaccinations (immunisations)
  • Twins, triplets or more

We are here to support you and your baby every step of the way.
