Private Antenatal Care
Pregnancy and Childbirth: Private Antenatal
Care Package
BabyInc offers a completely private antenatal care package with your own, full-time private Consultant Obstetrician. Mr Leitch is available 24-hours per day for his booked antenatal patients. On the rare occasion that Mr Leitch is away, an emergency telephone number to a close Consultant colleague is always available.
During pregnancy, ladies are routinely seen every 4 weeks until 30 weeks, fortnightly until 36 weeks and then weekly until delivery. You may. Of course, be seen as often as you require. Our service is completely flexible to suit your needs. You have the ability to choose early morning, daytime or evening appointments to fit around your busy daily schedule.
All routine antenatal assessments, including ultrasound scans and blood tests are carried out within the clinic. There is no requirement for you to visit your GP or any other clinic for various tests. Everything you need is provided within our clinic.
At each visit you will have the opportunity to discuss your progress, concerns and requirements for your pregnancy with Mr Leitch. Mr Leitch will also discuss the choices open to you for the delivery of your baby. Whether your choice is a vaginal delivery or a caesarean section, Mr Leitch will deliver your baby at The Portland Hospital for Women and Children. Mr Leitch will be with you throughout your labour and delivery. He will visit you daily, post-delivery, until you are discharged from hospital. A 6 weeks post-natal check-up will also be arranged for you. You will still have the ability, in the immediate post-natal period, to contact Mr Leitch 24-hours per day should any problem arise.
You may choose to join the antenatal care package at any stage during your pregnancy. Fees will be charged accordingly.

Ad-Hoc Appointments
If you do not wish to opt for the complete private antenatal care package, you may opt to have a one-off consultation with Mr Leitch if you have a specific problem or concern or wish a second opinion. If you are booked with your local NHS hospital for the delivery of your baby, you may still wish to have your pregnancy scans performed privately, at a time convenient to yourself and your partner so that you do not have to take off work. Pre and Post working hours appointments are available.
