Antenatal contacts quick reference guide

This document describes a Greater Glasgow and Clyde schedule of universal midwifery care, informed by current practice in GGC, NICE guidance (2021), Intergrowth recommendations, and professional input from midwifery and obstetric clinical leads. 

The recommended gestations provide a framework, but professional judgement should always be used and there can be variation of these gestations if indicated.   

To monitor fetal growth in keeping with Intergrowth guidance, midwives should use their professional judgement about the timing of return appointments, to ensure there is a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 4 weeks between fundal height measurements. 

In addition, an acronym is suggested to support a REVAMPP of antenatal care in GGC.  

Remember every woman every time, VTE, Anaemia, Movements, Plot Fundal Height, Plan.
