The Maternal Health consultation provides prenatal care to all pregnant women. It is also linked to the nursing consultation.
Even if you do not wish to have your pregnancy monitored at this USF, you should inform your GP as soon as you find out that you are pregnant.
This consultation is intended for “low risk” pregnancies, so all pregnancies with increased clinical risk will be referred to the Hospital Centre of Tâmega e Sousa or another of the pregnant woman’s preference.
