Pregnancy Checkups

If you have discovered that you are pregnant, you can register with us immediately, you do not need a referral from your GP. We make 3 appointments when you register. The first appointment is an ultrasound at 8 to 9 weeks of pregnancy. The second appointment is by telephone, the midwife will then call you for the intake. We make the third appointment around week 10-11, this is the term ultrasound.
Before you make an appointment, you will receive a welcome email with information and links to relevant topics. We ask you to read these brochures before your first appointment. You will also receive a link to an intake form with questions about, for example, your medical background. The controls look like this:

First ultrasoundaround 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, 30 minutes:

  • Ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, how many babies and whether it is in the womb, and whether the heart is beating

Intake around 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, 30 minutes:

 

In the beginning of the pregnancy you will have a check-up every 4 weeks. Later on, the check-ups will follow each other more quickly and at the end of the pregnancy we will see you weekly. Throughout the pregnancy, each check-up:

  • Blood pressure measured
  • Your belly checked for growth and position of the baby
  • Heart sounds heard from the baby (from 13 weeks)
  • Room for asking questions

If you are worried, you can always call and get a check-up in between.
