Antenatal Shared Care

Antenatal shared care is an increasingly popular model of antenatal care for women with low-risk pregnancies. Antenatal shared care involves GPs with additional training in women’s health and pregnancy working in collaboration with a hospital-based team including midwives and obstetricians. Shared care provides women with excellent continuity of care with your doctor and greater access to your doctor. As well, once the baby arrives, the same general practitioner that saw you through your pregnancy can provide continuity of care through assisting with baby health checks and attending to the health needs of the baby.
