YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
Your first appointment would ideally be at around 9 to 10 weeks so that I can perform an ultrasound (don’t worry if your pregnancy is more advanced than that). Partners are welcome at any appointment.
The first appointment is the longest, and there is plenty of time to ask any questions that you may have.
This is when we really start to get to know each other, so please feel free to voice any concerns you may have about your pregnancy or any issues you’re experiencing. We will soon establish an open and trusting relationship.
I pride myself on my ability to understand your expectations and give you the best experience possible based on your specific circumstances, wants and needs.
what to expect
- You will meet with an antenatal midwife and myself, your obstetrician.
- We will compile a detailed medical/surgical/obstetric history in order to assess any risk factors.
- We will take your blood pressure, weight and height measurements.
- I will perform an ultrasound to ensure your pregnancy is progressing normally and confirm the due date. (You will even get pictures to take home!)
- We will discuss any concerns you have about your pregnancy and provide information about how to reduce risks.
- We will discuss various screening tests that are available to you. All of these are optional and include first-trimester screening, genetic carrier screening, Non-invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPT), the Generation or Harmony test, CVS, and Amniocentesis. It is our goal to ensure your journey to parenthood is supported in a safe, warm and understanding environment
