Antenatal Care and High-Risk Assessment

Regular antenatal care keeps you and your baby safe by spotting problems early, supporting nutrition and mental health, and planning a comfortable birth. Book the first visit as early as possible, ideally in the first trimester. Your schedule and tests are tailored to your needs and are adjusted if any risk factors are present.

Key points

  • Early booking allows baseline checks, blood pressure, urine protein, routine blood tests, and planning for an ultrasound before twenty-four weeks
  • Visit schedules are personalized, more frequently if you have added risks such as previous complications, twins, high blood pressure, diabetes, higher body mass index, kidney or autoimmune disease, or certain medicines
  • Screening includes anemia, blood group and antibodies, infections when indicated, diabetes screening at mid-pregnancy, and mental health review
  • Ultrasound is used to confirm dates, check anatomy around mid-pregnancy, and reassess growth and placenta when needed
  • Low-dose aspirin can be recommended for those at increased risk of preeclampsia, starting after twelve weeks when advised
  • Vaccinations that protect you and your baby are reviewed, for example, influenza and whooping cough, and you receive nutrition, activity, and sleep guidance

Evaluation and treatment: what to expect

  • At the first visit, we take a detailed history, review medicines and allergies, check blood pressure and weight, and arrange initial blood and urine tests
  • We plan an ultrasound, an early scan for dates where helpful, and an anatomy scan around the middle of pregnancy. Further growth scans are added if the risk increases
  • Screening and prevention are tailored, including diabetes testing in mid-pregnancy, iron and vitamin checks when indicated, vaccinations, mental health screening, and safety review at home
  • If you are at increased risk of preeclampsia, we discuss low-dose aspirin and blood pressure monitoring and arrange closer follow-up.
  • If an issue arises, we coordinate care with the appropriate specialists and adjust your birth plan to keep you and your baby safe
  • Before birth, we review baby movements, signs of Labor, what to bring, pain relief choices, and postnatal plans, including feeding and contraception
