Our private midwife consultation during those early pregnancy stages bridges the gap on the 12 week wait until you receive your NHS booking appointment at 12 weeks. The consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your pregnancy wellbeing and any concerns you may have. You may be experiencing some early pregnancy symptoms and body changes that are not known to you, such as morning sickness and fatigue; our private midwife can give advice on how to help manage these and advise on medication or natural remedies that are available to you if required.

During this appointment, we will discuss pregnancy symptoms, diet and nutrition, exercise, antenatal screening in pregnancy and anything else you have questions about. We will also discuss the appointments you should expect and when to schedule them. Our private midwife will perform a blood pressure check and urinalysis. Other blood tests can be performed should they be required, or if you have a medical condition such as thyroid disease at an additional cost. If we feel you may benefit from an additional obstetric ultrasound scan during your appointment we can organise this at a time that suits you (additional fees will apply). You are welcome to bring your partner or friend alongside all of your midwife appointments for support.
