What to Expect
Timeline: 9 months
Your pregnancy journey typically begins with a GP consultation to confirm pregnancy, followed by regular ultrasound scans (one per trimester plus a 20-week anatomy scan), blood tests for screening, and specialist OB-GYN consultations. Delivery takes place at a hospital — either vaginal or via C-section depending on clinical need. Most patients complete 8–12 visits over the 9-month period.
