Antenatal care UK services provide regular medical support throughout pregnancy to monitor the health of the mother and baby. In the NHS, pregnancy care is usually provided by midwives, with doctors and specialist teams involved when additional support is needed. Women can refer themselves to NHS maternity services after finding out they are pregnant.
Antenatal appointments include health assessments, blood pressure and urine checks, blood tests, pregnancy screening, and discussions about nutrition, wellbeing, birth preferences, and baby's movements. The NHS generally offers at least 10 appointments for a first pregnancy and at least 7 for women who have given birth before.
Pregnant women in England are offered ultrasound scans, including a dating scan around 11 to 14 weeks and a 20-week screening scan between 18 and 21 weeks. Screening tests may also check for certain inherited conditions and infections. These screening tests are optional, and women can discuss their choices with their midwife or doctor.
Good antenatal care UK services help identify potential concerns early and provide appropriate guidance throughout pregnancy. Regular communication with the maternity team can help women understand their care options and prepare for labour, birth, and newborn care.
