When you first learn that you’re pregnant, please self refer directly to the Midwife on 0131 536 2009. Ideally this should be by 10 weeks of your pregnancy. You will receive an appointment for an initial ‘booking’ visit and the Midwife will also arrange an appointment for your ultrasound scan.
Midwife
The Midwife works with the Practice Team to give care to women during pregnancy and for ten days after the baby is delivered. Midwife appointments will be printed in your obstetric handheld notes. Further information on when you will be seen in the course of your pregnancy will be issued to you at your midwife booking appointment.
Our Practice Midwife is Kim Wolohan.
