Before birth

Sometimes, an ultrasound scan uncovers an abnormality in the developing baby. This may have implications for the remainder of the pregnancy, the birth of the baby and his/her care in the first weeks of life. At the request of an obstetrician, we will meet with the family, explain the significance of the abnormality that has been found, and make a plan for the care of the baby. These discussions take place in our consulting rooms and normally take 45-60 minutes. A detailed plan for management is then drawn up and communicated back to the referring obstetrician with a copy to the family.​ Refer to the individual doctors' pages for the cost of this service. ​
