Our Service

We provide a flexible package of antenatal care for women who wish to have the reassurance of seeing highly trained specialists who would provide a wide range of services from the pre-conceptual period through to labour and delivery. Packages are available for those who wish to have care from early in pregnancy through to the end as well as those who would like the reassurance of some additional scans in the latter part of their pregnancy. We offer a relaxed environment with patients given time for consultations and visits at their convenience as well as the latest in ultrasound technology to see their baby as it grows and develops.
