• Referral to a Specialist or referral for investigations: Sometimes further investigations may be indicated. We may request blood tests or swabs, which can be performed on-site (at additional cost). We may need to refer you to a specialist.
• Remember: It’s important to bring your antenatal notes with you to any antenatal appointment as these records communicate your ongoing care with other caregivers.
• Our Postnatal Assessment You are likely to have had a postnatal check with your regular doctor and/or private Obstetrician at 6-8 weeks after delivery, however, at 2Me Clinic we feel that postnatal time is also a good opportunity to reflect on your health, mental health, contraception, and lifestyle priorities. That’s why we’ve designed a health check at the 12-week postnatal period to give you time and space to answer your questions, and to address your needs.
