Self-Referral Form for Maternity Care in Antrim Area Hospital

Are you newly pregnant and wish to contact your midwife?
As soon as you have a positive pregnancy test you can refer yourself directly for maternity care in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust.
You will also need to notify your GP of your pregnancy. It is important to purchase and commence the following: Folic acid (400 micrograms per day) and Vitamin D (10 micrograms per day especially from September to April)
If you are a known epileptic or there is a family history of Spina Bifida or your BMI is greater than 30, you need to make an appointment to see your GP as you will probably need the higher dose of folic acid.
If you are planning a pregnancy, you can buy multivitamins that are suitable for pregnancy (your local pharmacist can advise) and start at least 12 weeks before you get pregnant. When you are pregnant, if you have not already started this medication, it is very important to start as soon as possible and continue for at least the first 12 weeks of your pregnancy. Please ensure all details are accurate.
