Women with a BMI of 40 or more are referred to the clinic and are managed by a consultant obstetrician with a special interest in this area.
Women usually receive additional ultrasound scans as well as review by a consultant obstetric anaesthetist.
Our aim is to get the best possible outcome for women and their babies by using the most up-to-date techniques and treatments available. The clinic also takes part in research, with patients sometimes being asked to take part in studies when they come for their clinic appointments.
Clinics
Clinics are held on a Wednesday afternoon in the Antenatal Clinic, on the ground floor in Saint Mary’s Hospital.
How can I access this clinic?
A referral would be through the midwife at your booking appointment.
