ANTENATAL CARE

In Ireland all future mothers are entitled to free maternity care. The combined maternity services are provided by your GP & Maternity hospital. When you find out you are pregnant, make an appointment with your GP. Your doctor will provide initial examination, if possible before 12 weeks. Further examinations during pregnancy are alternated with visits to maternity hospital. You will also get two post-natal visits to your GP: 2-week check up for your baby & 6-weeks check up for the new baby & mother. Care for other illnesses which you may have at this time but which are not related to the pregnancy are not covered by the scheme.
