Prenatal clinics

We usually admit expectant mothers with uncomplicated pregnancies to antenatal care from the 36th week of pregnancy; during this week, the so-called ‘check-in’ to the maternity ward takes place. This is an initial consultation involving a comprehensive examination of the pregnant woman and her baby, including a standard antenatal consultation, CTG monitoring and an ultrasound scan with flow measurements. If we do not identify any serious issues, you can attend further check-ups until your due date either with your registered gynaecologist or here with us, as agreed. We manage expectant mothers with high-risk or pathological pregnancies at our high-risk pregnancy clinic, from any gestational week, subject to agreement with your registered gynaecologist.
