Antenatal Clinics

To be referred to the hospital antenatal clinic you can self refer (see self referrals page) or see a doctor in a routine appointment (the first midwife led appointments occur around 12 weeks into pregnancy). There is a midwife who sees our patients at Hall Grove for many of their routine appointments during the pregnancy.
