CARE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY
Whatever stage you choose to start your care, I am an on call 24 hours a day to ensure all your needs are met.
PRE-CONCEPTION HEALTH
Being in good health before trying for pregnancy improves your chances of both getting pregnant and having a good pregnancy and birth.
​
Taking folic acid for 3 months before trying for a baby, staying active and eating a healthy diet, along with cutting down or stopping smoking and alcohol are all beneficial. If you or your family members have had issues with health which can affect pregnancy, I will work with you to plan the best preparation for a healthy pregnancy.
PREGNANCY CARE
All antenatal and delivery care will be delivered by me at the Lindo Wing, at St Mary's hospital. We will meet every 4 weeks until 28 weeks, then 2 weekly until 36 weeks and weekly until your baby is born.
​
During routine appointments after 20 weeks, I will provide scans to check the growth and wellbeing of the baby. These will be at no additional cost.
​
In the event that I am unavailable, working in my NHS role or away, you will be seen by one of my experienced colleagues.
POSTNATAL HEALTH
After birth, I will support you and your family to go forward into your lives together in the best possible health, physically and mentally. With our dedicated postnatal team, I will ensure all your postnatal needs are met and you feel confident with your new arrival.
​
Whether you know your plans for the future or not, we will take a holistic approach to caring for your needs and those of your baby. I am qualified in family planning and can give specialist advice, personalised to you.
