Burdwood SurgeryMaternity
Antenatal Clinic
This clinic is run by the midwife. If you become pregnant you will be given a ‘booking appointment’ around eight to ten weeks, at which the midwife will ask you a few questions and carry out some general health checks. You will be seen regularly throughout your pregnancy either at the practice or at the local hospital, or both.
