NHS 111 Wales – Due Date Calendar

Pregnancy Guide

Information on Antenatal Care which is the care you get from health professionals during your pregnancy. It’s sometimes called pregnancy care or maternity care.

You’ll be offered appointments with a midwife, or sometimes a doctor who specialises in pregnancy and birth (an obstetrician).

You should start your antenatal care as soon as possible once you know you’re pregnant. You can do this by contacting a midwife or GP.

Making your birth plan

A birth plan is a record of what you would like to happen during your labour and after the birth. You don’t have to create a birth plan but, if you would like one, your midwife will be able to help.

Discussing a birth plan with your midwife gives you the chance to ask questions and find out more about what happens in labour.

It also gives your midwife the chance to get to know you better, and understand your feelings and priorities, and allows you to think about or discuss some things more fully with your partner, friends and relatives.

You can change your mind about your wishes for labour and birth at any time.
