Antenatal care services
Full antenatal care package
Essentially, you can choose the level and type of care that you require. We would recommend booking with your local NHS hospital so that you can access ultrasound scans, blood tests and place of birth, and emergency care with ease. You can opt to have private blood tests and scans and we can support you with this.

If you would like a full antenatal package, we will see you at home, or a location of your choice at a time to suit you. Each appointment is bespoke and will last at least one hour dependent upon needs. Your partner is an important part of your journey and we can arrange appointments so that they can be present along the way. We also offer an additional or single package for birth partners to help advise and prepare for your new baby’s arrival.
Initial appointment (between 8 - 12 weeks)
Your first appointment is a real chance for us to get to know each other - you will ideally meet both of us during this appointment. Please ask as many questions as you like. In turn, we will ask about your medical history, previous pregnancy history and other information that you think will help to shape your care.
This appointment is often conducted after the ‘booking in appointment’ with your NHS provider, and is the perfect opportunity to plan ahead. It’s at this stage that you can tell us about your desired pregnancy journey which will allow us to agree on a tailor made package to suit you and your family.
Schedule of antenatal appointments
We would usually aim to see you around the following weeks: 16 weeks, 20 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks 31 weeks, 34 weeks, 36 weeks, 38 weeks, 39 weeks, 40 weeks
The full antenatal package includes your clinical midwifery assessments as well as information sharing and health promotion. You will be able to shape the appointments to suit your needs.
If we are concerned about any aspects of your clinical care, we will refer you to your service provider or specialists for review ensuring robust and safe care throughout.
