Obstetricians are pregnancy specialists. Their role is to manage and minimise risks during your pregnancy, to help you safely deliver a healthy baby.
When and how often do I need to see my obstetrician?
Once your GP has confirmed you are pregnant, you will need to get a referral and make an appointment with our specialist obstetrician.
It is always a good idea to have a dating ultrasound scan around 7 weeks; your GP will happily organise this for you.
Your first appointment at Evolve Women’s Health is normally around 8-10 weeks gestation.
If you are healthy and there are no complicating risk factors, you can expect that our obstetrician will want to see you as follows:
• For an initial consultation at 8-10 weeks of your pregnancy. Read more about what to expect during your first appointment.
• Every 4 weeks until the 28th week of pregnancy
• Then every 2 weeks until 36 weeks
• Then once a week until delivery of your baby
• 6-8 weeks after childbirth for a post-natal visit.
If you have a high risk pregnancy, you will have an antenatal appointment schedule individually tailored to your unique needs.
