Private healthcare providers in pregnancy

healthy-pregnancyThere are a number of private healthcare providers locally from scans to doulas and midwives.

Screening services

Standard scans and screening blood tests are available on the NHS during pregnancy.  However, you may want to have extra tests privately.  Your midwife will be able to tell you what is available for free.
