Your antenatal appointments

While you're pregnant you'll have regular antenatal appointments with a midwife or an obstetrician. These are important as they will check the health of you and your baby. It's important to attend these appointments as any problems can be picked up and it’s a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.

The York and Scarborough NHS maternity service is now using Badger Notes, an electronic system aimed at giving mothers more access to and control of their pregnancy records and care notes.

The Healthy Child Service antenatal contact

The Healthy Child Service is here to help you and your family.

A Health Visitor will make contact with you to arrange an antenatal visit towards the end of your pregnancy, usually after you're 28 weeks pregnant. This is an opportunity for you and your family to get to know the Healthy Child Service and find out about the support that is available. The antenatal visit is a chance to talk about the questions or worries that you may have and can provide lots of information about feeding your baby, safe sleep, emotional well-being and much more!

If you have any questions or worries, you can call the Healthy Child Service telephone: 01904 555475 (Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 4.30pm) or email: [email protected].
