Choosing your antenatal care

The recommendation for the first antenatal care appointment is before 12 weeks of pregnancy. Very often this first appointment will take place after this date when many crucial tests will not be carried out. The timing of antenatal care appointments and the availability can vary between different areas in the United Kingdom, with some areas receiving better treatment than others.

The amount of caesareans carried out also varies wildly, with more performed in some areas than others. Although a woman should receive excellent maternity care wherever she lives, that isn’t always the case, which is why many women choose private antenatal care.

For many women, the care that they receive will ensure the health of themselves and their baby, with tests carried out in a timely manner and pregnancy scans to detect any problems with the baby. Here at Innermost Secrets, we offer comprehensive antenatal care plus parent craft classes which will help to prepare you for life with a new baby.

There are many disorders that can be detected early in a pregnancy such as Down syndrome, which will enable you to make informed choices regarding amniocentesis for further testing. Without early tests and indications you won’t be able to make those decisions.

As antenatal care has been made available to all women, free of charge, the occurrence of stillbirths and maternal deaths have decreased dramatically, but there is still a long way to go in order to ensure that all women have their first antenatal appointment before 12 weeks, which is why private antenatal care is a valid option for many.

Selecting a reputable private clinic will offer convenience and the best care available, which may be combined with the birth taking place in hospital. A private antenatal care option is the way to ensure prompt treatment with the scans and tests that you need to ensure the health of you and your baby.
