We provide full antenatal care in the practice.

If you have a crisis pregnancy we are happy to discuss this with you in a non-judgemental way .

We will arrange referrals as appropriate.

If you become pregnant you are entitled to maternity care under the maternity and infant care scheme.

Maternity & Infant Care Scheme

Every woman who is pregnant and ordinarily resident in Ireland with a valid PPSN is entitled to Maternity Care under this scheme.  The agreed programme of normal maternity care compromises of 6 routine ante-natal visits in the case of a first pregnancy and 7 routine ante-natal visits in the case of subsequent pregnancies.  There will be a form for you to sign when you check in for each antenatal visit and for the 2- and 6-week check.   We recommend that you attend for your visits as per outlines in the table below.  The schedule of visits that is covered by the scheme is shown below *

If you need to see the Doctor outside of the above scheduled weeks, you will be charged for these consultations as they are not covered by the scheme unless you have a significant illness such as severe morning sickness or pregnancy induced diabetes.

Certain services which you may require as part of routine antenatal care are not covered by the Ante Natal Scheme.

Charges apply for the following:

B12 & Immunisation Injections  Glucose Tolerance Test   Urine tests/Blood tests/Swab checks/Sick Certs

Post pregnancy care unless part of the 6-week check – for example, wound infections, mastitis, episiotomy infection, post-natal depression are not covered under ante-natal care.

It is worth noting that visits not associated with your pregnancy are not covered by the scheme and if you do not have a Medical Card or Doctor Visit Card, then there will be a charge for these visits, e.g., chest infections/urine infections.
