This information is about the screening tests you will be offered during your pregnancy and after your baby is born. Screening is the process of identifying women and babies who may be at an increased risk of a disease or condition and may require further information, tests and treatment.

It is important that you read this information prior to your midwife booking appointment and inform your midwife of any relevant conditions that you, your partner or your immediate families may have.

Screening is important as it can save lives or improve quality of life through early risk identification and/or reduce the risk of developing a serious condition or its complication.
