A First-Time Mum's Guide To Antenatal Care

When I found out I was pregnant a year ago, I had no idea how many tests, scans and health checks were ahead of me. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to have received such high-quality antenatal care from my midwife and obstetrician, but I felt there was a lot of information for me to absorb along the way.
