Antenatal Care
Regular check-ups, screening, and monitoring through every trimester of pregnancy, helping catch and manage concerns early.
Understanding Antenatal Care
Antenatal care follows a structured schedule of check-ups, blood tests, and ultrasound scans across each trimester, allowing the obstetric team to monitor both mother and baby and identify any concerns early. Visits become more frequent as the pregnancy progresses.

Antenatal Care questions
Get answers about pregnancy check-ups, scans, and what to expect at each stage.
Visits are typically monthly in early pregnancy, increasing to every two weeks and then weekly as you approach your due date, depending on your individual risk profile.
Antenatal care is recommended if:
- Your pregnancy has just been confirmed
- You are due for a scheduled check-up
- You have a new pregnancy-related symptom
- You have a pre-existing condition needing monitoring
- You want a second opinion on a scan result
Every pregnancy is monitored individually
Check-up frequency and additional testing are tailored to your specific risk factors, not a single fixed schedule for everyone.
