Antenatal clinic in Carindale, shared with your hospital.
Our antenatal clinic in Carindale provides shared care with your chosen hospital, so most routine pregnancy checks happen close to home. The same GP follows your pregnancy wherever possible and coordinates with the hospital team.
Your antenatal care through the second trimester
The second trimester, from about 13 to 27 weeks, is often when women feel their best, but it’s also a busy time for antenatal tests. Around 20 weeks, you’ll have the morphology scan to check your baby’s development. Between 24 and 28 weeks, a glucose tolerance test checks for gestational diabetes. If your blood group is Rh negative, an anti-D injection is offered around 28 weeks.
At our antenatal clinic in Carindale, your GP arranges these tests at the right time, goes through the results with you and passes them on to your hospital. In between, we check your blood pressure, measure your growing bump and listen to your baby’s heartbeat.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ antenatal clinic inside Westfield Carindale provides second trimester shared care with your hospital, including the 20-week scan referral, glucose tolerance test and iron checks. Results are reviewed with you and shared with your hospital. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.
