Your antenatal (maternity) care
Antenatal care is the care you get from health professionals during your pregnancy.
It’s sometimes called pregnancy care or maternity care.
You’ll be offered appointments with a midwife, or sometimes a doctor who specialises in pregnancy and birth (an obstetrician).
You should start your antenatal care as soon as possible once you know you’re pregnant. You can do this by contacting a midwife or GP.
