Once you have found out that you are pregnant or suspect you are pregnant, contact the secretary to make an appointment. to book an appointment with our nurse/midwife for your first pregnancy consultation.

The purpose of this consultation is to calculate the due date/birth time based on the first day of your last menstrual period and to fill out the pregnancy record.

We'll talk about where you want to give birth and what tests you want to have done as part of early prenatal diagnosis. In addition, you will have a number of blood tests taken and you will have a follow-up appointment with your doctor about a week later.

With early prenatal diagnosis, it's important to know:

  • That the calculation of the probability of chromosomal abnormalities and scanning for malformations is an offer and that you can opt in and out along the way.
  • That you can choose to have a 1st trimester scan without having the likelihood of chromosomal abnormality examined.
  • That the vast majority get a normal response - but not all, which you should prepare for.
  • That if the probability is increased, further investigations are offered for clarification.
  • That you may face difficult dilemmas and choices when dealing with abnormal/pathological findings in the fetus.
  • If all tests are normal, there is reason to feel more confident, but that is no guarantee of a child without disease or disability.

You can't test for everything - and you won't find everything you test for.

In addition to the first pregnancy check-up, you will have your 2nd and 3rd pregnancy check-ups with your doctor at week 25 and week 32 respectively.

Vaccination of pregnant women against whooping cough at 32 weeks gestation:

The Danish Health Authority recommends that pregnant women are vaccinated against whooping cough in connection with the 3rd routine pregnancy examination with their GP, which takes place around the full 32 weeks. Pregnant women with less than one week to expected delivery are not recommended to be vaccinated as no preventive effect is expected for the newborn child.
