This webpage offers information about these and many other topics. During pregnancy, you may experience pregnancy-related symptoms. Or in case of symptoms that require you to contact your midwife or obstetrician directly. These too are described on this webpage About this document This webpage contains general information about what pregnant women can normally expect in terms of care and information. In all cases, however, written information just supplements the details provided during the interview with the midwife, GP or obstetrician. Are you under the care of your GP? In that case, where it says ‘midwife’, please also read ‘GP’. Although the webpage focuses on you, the expectant mother, much of the information it contains is also relevant to your partner. There is a lot of additional information available. A list of websites and other sources is included at the end of this brochure. If you have any further questions, your midwife or obstetrician is there to help. It is also possible to download this information as a document and print it yourself.
