So you discovered you are pregnant... what now?

If your pregnancy test is positive, please call us for an appointment. A referral from your GP is not required. However, it may be useful to inform your GP that you are pregnant.

The first check-up is usually scheduled to take place around the 8th week of pregnancy. During this check-up, we will make an ultrasound to verify the pregnancy.
Please tell us if you and your partner have any special wishes/expectations during the pregnancy.
We listen carefully to your needs and tailor our care accordingly.
During your appointment, you will receive an ultrasound scan at each check-up.
