Antenatal care is the care you receive from healthcare professionals during your pregnancy. You'll be offered a series of appointments with a midwife, or sometimes with a doctor who specialises in pregnancy and birth (an obstetrician).
They will check that you and your baby are well, give you useful information about being pregnant, and answer any questions you may have.
During this appointment, Mommy was assigned to a Midwife whom will be our chief supervising Midwife during pregnancy. She asked Mommy a lot of question to build our Health History. She then gave mommy information on healthy life during pregnancy, estimated time of delivery, information on our rights as pregnant women in UK and some forms to fill. Pregnant Mom also got a hand-held book containing all information plus forms to fill out by the midwife every time we come for an appointment. It's a kind of medical history. We have to carry it with us where ever we go, thus, if ever anything happn to us doctors and medical staff anywhere can easily follow up our conditions from the book. Very thoughtful!
It was a very good session. The Midwife was very kind, patience and reassuring. Appear to be professional but very friendly. Mommy believe we are in a good hand. Daddy was present in the session too.
We got to hear the sound of your heartbeat.
It was the most magnificent sound we have ever heard in our life.
It was the sound of life... growing... and promising.
