Pregnancy Care Pathway

Personalised Care

Our clinic offers a personalised, consultant-led maternity service from early pregnancy through to postnatal recovery.

Our Care Pathway

The care pathway is expertly designed to support you from early pregnancy through to delivery and beyond.

Led by your obstetrician and grounded in the latest evidence, it is delivered with compassion and bespoke to your unique needs—ensuring the highest standard of care for both you and your baby.

Your personalised care plan begins after your initial consultation and will be adjusted as needed at each appointment, based on your evolving preferences and the findings from ongoing survelliance of maternal and fetal well-being.

After the detailed anatomy scan at 20–23 weeks, a customised schedule of fetal well-being scans will be created, combining best practices with your individual preferences for reassurance. Routine blood tests will be carried out each trimester, and any tests conducted within NHS settings can be reviewed and integrated into your overall care plan.
