This screening can be arranged for you by your GP.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to go<\/h3>\n<p>Your first appointment at hospital is at the Antenatal Clinic, located in Outpatient Services, Building 23, Caboolture Hospital. This is where most of your antenatal visits will be unless directed otherwise on your appointment letter.<\/p>\n<h3>What to expect<\/h3>\n<p>At your appointment you will be asked to complete some paperwork, check your weight and provide a urine sample. Your midwife will discuss your pregnancy, care options and give you a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.qld.gov.au\/__data\/assets\/pdf_file\/0015\/1430052\/pregnancy-health-record.pdf\">Pregnancy Health Record<\/a>, which you will bring to all your appointments. At your appointment, your midwife may:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>discuss your medical history<\/li>\n<li>listen to your baby\u2019s heart beat<\/li>\n<li>take your blood pressure<\/li>\n<li>discuss educational classes<\/li>\n<li>develop a plan for your care<\/li>\n<li>provide healthy eating advice<\/li>\n<li>refer to further services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is an opportunity for you to ask any questions about your pregnancy and birth.<\/p>\n<h2>Follow-up appointments<\/h2>\n<p>Further appointments will be organised by your midwife according to the care options you chose. Your visits are a great way to learn about how your baby is growing and what is happening to your body. At your visits, you may have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>your blood pressure checked<\/li>\n<li>your GP or midwife will palpate (feel) and measure your abdomen to see how much your baby has grown and listen to your baby\u2019s heartbeat<\/li>\n<li>on some occasions check and record your weight, have blood taken for tests and your urine checked.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"pregnancy-appointment-problems\">\n<h2>Pregnancy problems<\/h2>\n<p>The vast majority of women have normal, uncomplicated pregnancies and births.
