Pre pregnancy counselling
Having a baby starts with preconception care. A pre pregnancy appointment will help to optimise the journey that is your pregnancy. At the appointment, I will review your medical, surgical and gynaecological history - this can include pre pregnancy investigations for certain genetic conditions or review of chronic illnesses and medications. At the end of the consultation, I will make recommendations on how you can make the most of a healthy pregnancy.
Early pregnancy assessment and counselling service
Unfortunately not all pregnancies are perfect and 20-40% of women will have bleeding in early pregnancy and 10-20% of women will experience a pregnancy loss. I am here to support you with early pregnancy bleeding or loss, including help with making decisions regarding ongoing management and investigation and planning of future pregnancies.
Antenatal appointments
I will meet you early in your pregnancy for your first booking appointment. At that appointment I will take a thorough medical history and perform a physical examination including an early pregnancy ultrasound. Throughout your pregnancy, I will arrange blood tests and ultrasounds, as well as discuss your wishes for your pregnancy care and delivery.
Postnatal follow up
I will see you again 6 weeks after the birth of your baby to ensure you are settling well into motherhood and help with any questions or concerns you may have.
