Antenatal Counselling

Talk to your baby's doctor before your baby arrives.

What is antenatal counselling with a paediatrician?

It is a visit during pregnancy where parents meet the child specialist to prepare for the baby's care after birth. It's especially helpful if the baby may be born early, if a problem was seen on a scan, or for twins. You'll learn what to expect and how to plan feeding and early care.
