Obstetrician Led Maternity Care
Antenatal care in the UK can be provided by either a doctor or a midwife. You may need to see an obstetrician if you experience any health problems or complications as the doctor will be able to provide specialist care. However, you can also choose to see a private obstetrician even if you are experiencing an uncomplicated pregnancy. You might want to see an obstetrician for antenatal care if:
Your GP or midwife has suggested that you see a specialist
You are experiencing pregnancy complications or a high risk pregnancy
You have had a difficult pregnancy or birth before
You are expecting more than one baby
You feel more comfortable seeing an obstetrician rather than a midwife
What to Expect
The antenatal care that you receive from your obstetrician will be tailored to your needs. Every patient will see the doctor for routine appointments and receive all of the support and advice that they need while you are expecting. However, you may need to have additional appointments, tests or treatments depending on your health and any issues you experience during pregnancy. You may need to see your obstetrician more frequently if you are an older mother, this is your first pregnancy or you are experiencing any complications. You may also see your GP, a midwife or other specialists as part of your antenatal care.
Your antenatal care will include:
Regular check ups to ensure you and your baby are healthy
Ultrasound scans and other screening tests if required
Advice on your diet and staying well during pregnancy
Information about pregnancy and birth, including help with your birth plan
Treatment for any pregnancy symptoms or complications you experience
Support during the delivery, including a Caesarean section if necessary
Our gynaecology specialists will ensure that you receive all of the care and support that you need during pregnancy. They can advise you on your options, answer all of your questions, and be there to support you throughout your pregnancy and the birth of your baby.
