Antenatal Care

Booking a Visit to the Womens Health Group
You will be invited to attend a booking clinic 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. Please allow 30 minutes for this appointment.

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, if required to attend your GP and when attending the women’s Health Group or the hospital, there is access to a fully updated record of your care.

3D & 4D Ultrasound Scans
It is very simple to organise a scan here. There is no need for a letter of referral. Just ring Jean at the numbers given and it is as simple as that! You can even buy gift certificates for loved ones!
