The midwife will then contact you again between 12 and 14 weeks.
The ante-natal clinic is on a Wednesday afternoon between 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm at Honley Surgery . Women are seen in this clinic by appointment, initially on a monthly basis from 20 weeks. The appointment interval decreases as the pregnancy progresses.
