Antenatal appointments and antenatal classes

As soon as you know you are pregnant you should get in touch with your GP practice to get a midwife appointment. Your midwife will be able to help you all the way through your pregnancy with everything from staying healthy to what happens when you go into labour.

Speak to your midwife to find out what antenatal classes are available in your area. You can also access free Togetherness Online Learning Pathways at Togetherness, including a course on understanding pregnancy, labour, birth and your baby. Use the code TARTAN to get free access.

NHS Inform has more information on what to expect from your antenatal care. There’s also lots of help and support on Parent Club.
