Rivermead Gate Medical Centre

Pre-pregnancy counselling service

We would like to inform you about a new pre-pregnancy counselling service that has been launched by our Trust for people with medical conditions who are planning a pregnancy, or who have had a previous complicated pregnancy due to a medical condition.

This new service offers individuals with medical conditions in the mid and south Essex area the opportunity to take control of their pregnancy planning journey. People can either see us directly or be referred to a specialist consultant who will assess your medical needs and create a personalised care plan for them during pregnancy and beyond.

The clinics are staffed by a team of experts, including obstetricians, and medical specialists, who will work with each individual to create a personalised plan for their pregnancy.

The conditions:

  • Cardiac or heart conditions
  • Hypertension or high blood pressure
  • Neurological diseases, such as epilepsy
  • Blood conditions, including sickle cell disease, bleeding and clotting disorders
  • Kidney disease
  • Liver disease
  • Joint disease
  • Severe skin conditions
