Antenatal and Postnatal Care

We now have the combined care maternity and infant scheme available at Beechview Medical for patients registered with the clinic. Please be advised if you are not currently a patient with the clinic, you will require a separate registration appointment to register as a patient first.

Your schedule of visits under the scheme are as follows:

  1. Your first visit would generally be with the GP before twelve weeks (preferably as soon as possible after conception)
  2. Before twenty weeks you will visit your chosen hospital.
  3.  At twenty four weeks you will visit your GP
  4.  At twenty eight weeks your appointment will be as follows:
    If it is your first pregnancy, your fourth visit will be with your chosen hospital. If it is not your first pregnancy, your fourth visit will be with your GP
  5.  At thirty weeks you will see your GP
  6.  At thirty two weeks you will visit your chosen hospital
  7.  At thirty four weeks you will visit your GP

If you are overdue, your chosen hospital will advise you of further visits and this can be arranged between the hospital and your GP.

At six weeks after birth you will visit your GP and this visit is for mother and baby
