💛 “It was one of the best things I did with my pregnancy healthcare and made it much easier to manage and enjoy alongside my actual pregnancy.’’

As a mum of four, Jessica Kew knows how important it is to feel informed, supported and heard during pregnancy.

When she discovered Antenatal Shared Care (ANSC), it meant she could see her own GP, someone who knew her, her health and her family throughout her pregnancy.

ANSC helped Jessica with:
✨ fewer hospital visits
✨ continuity of care
✨ less stress while juggling work, kids and life

Antenatal Shared Care can be an option for women with a low-risk pregnancy, combining GP care with hospital maternity services.
