Ongoing Pregnancy Support
Nurturing You Through Pregnancy
Once you’ve received your referral from your GP, just give us a call to book your first appointment.
When you come in, we’ll start with a friendly chat about your medical history, covering any past pregnancies,
surgeries, or health conditions.
If your GP has already organised antenatal tests, bring the results with you or have them sent to us, and we’ll ensure everything is in place.
Our aim is to make this experience positive and reassuring at every step, with screenings designed to provide you and your baby the best care and peace of mind.
We want to make sure you feel heard and understood right from the start.
We’ll discuss your antenatal screening and testing options, answering any questions you may have along the way so that you feel fully informed.
If you’ve had complications in past pregnancies or have specific health concerns, please let us know. This helps us tailor your care to provide the best possible support for you and your baby.
Here is how we help
Down Syndrome Screening, Including Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)
This screening is available to assess the risk of Down syndrome and other genetic conditions. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is done through a simple blood test, typically performed between 10-14 weeks of pregnancy. It analyses small fragments of your baby’s DNA found in your blood, offering a safe and accurate assessment without any risk to you or your baby.
Antenatal Infection Screen
This screening checks for potential infections that could affect your pregnancy, such as hepatitis, HIV, syphilis, and rubella immunity. It’s usually done in the early weeks through a blood test, allowing us to manage any risks early and provide the right care for a healthy pregnancy.
Ultrasound Scans
Ultrasounds are performed at various stages of pregnancy to monitor your baby’s growth, check the location of the placenta, and identify any potential concerns. They also give you a glimpse of your baby’s development, providing reassurance and excitement throughout your journey.
Screening for Diabetes
Diabetes screening is typically done between 24-28 weeks to check for gestational diabetes, which can develop during pregnancy. The test involves drinking a glucose solution, followed by a blood test an hour later to measure your body’s response. Early detection helps us manage it effectively, ensuring a healthier pregnancy for both you and your baby.
What is Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that can develop during pregnancy, even if you haven’t had diabetes before. It occurs when your body can’t produce enough insulin to manage the extra glucose created during pregnancy. Left untreated, it can affect your baby’s growth and increase risks during labour, but with early detection, it can be effectively managed through dietary changes, exercise, and, in some cases, medication.
