孕婦護理

懷孕前中後期的支援

蘇格蘭NHS提供懷孕、分娩和產後護理。你將會與你的婦產科醫生或助產士定期進行產前檢查。你可以在助產士中心、醫院、家中,或透過NHS Near Me應用程式中的視像會議功能出席預約檢查。

這些定期檢查包括評估嬰兒的生長狀況,產前篩查和診斷測試,並讓你與助產士討論你的疑惑。你亦可預約產前課程(有時被稱為父母教育課程),讓你和你的伴侶準備好迎接新生命的到來,成為稱職父母。

你應與你的助產士了解你先前在香港或在其他地方的懷孕細節,讓助產士了解如何讓你的懷孕和生育過程更舒服。如你在先前懷孕過程曾經任何不適,你更應該通知你的助產士。

你在蘇格蘭的產前護理情況將會記錄在蘇格蘭的婦女孕產記錄(SWHMR)中。你可以透過應用程式查看你的記錄,包括你先前懷孕的詳情、健康檢查和測試的結果,以及你分娩計劃等的資訊。

以下是一些懷孕期間可參考的有用資訊:

孕期檢查

你可在懷孕期間接受孕期檢查。這些檢查將檢查嬰兒的健康狀況,例如唐氏綜合症。所有NHS提供的檢查和診斷測試費用全免。這些檢查有助協助你在懷孕期間做的任何決定,讓你為你的嬰兒做好準備,並預備好一切所需。

在你懷孕期間,你將進行血液測試和超聲波檢查,用作檢查:

  • 鐮狀細胞和地中海型貧血
  • 全細胞計數、血型系統和Rh血型系統(陽性或陰性)
  • 唐氏綜合症、愛德華氏綜合症和巴陶氏症侯群
  • 傳染性疾病(乙型肝炎、梅毒和愛滋病)

你可以自行決定接受甚麼檢查。假如你不希望進行檢查,你應與你的助產士或其他醫療專業人士討論。

嬰兒出生後,你會安排進行新生兒篩查,你應在你臨產前與你的助產士討論。一般來說,新生兒篩查會在嬰兒出生後首幾個星期進行,篩查包括嬰兒身體檢查、聽力檢查和血樣測試。同樣,你可以自己選擇接受甚麼檢查。所有NHS提供的檢查和診斷測試費用全免。更多有關新生嬰兒篩查資訊,請按此處

初生嬰兒歡迎包

所有在蘇格蘭出生的嬰兒均可獲贈免費的初生嬰兒歡迎包。這個歡迎包包括嬰兒的重要必需品,例如衣物、嬰兒尿布券、嬰兒圖書、遊戲墊、玩具、毛巾和其他更多物品。

你應在嬰兒出生後20個星期內向你的助產士報名加入這個計劃。你可以在此處查詢更多有關初生嬰兒歡迎包的資料

常見問題

懷孕期間的檢查和診斷測試需要收費嗎?

在蘇格蘭,所有由NHS提供的檢查和診斷測試均屬全免。NHS亦會為在出生時有特定健康問題或殘疾的嬰兒提供免費治療。

我最近到步蘇格蘭,並且已懷孕10週,我應該做甚麼?

你應該第一時間聯絡你的GP。如你尚未註冊GP,你應在註冊期間提及你正懷孕,有助加快註冊過程。如你有任何疑問,你可致電111聯絡NHS 24

如你是BN(O)簽證持有人,則需要與英國外交、聯邦及發展事務部(FCDO)聯絡,取得轉介信,並寄給香港警方。你可以電郵至bmdenquiries@fcdo.gov.uk聯絡FCDO。請注意,此項服務收費為50英鎊。加上由於你在海外申請,你亦需要由英國警方協助採集你的指紋,並將你的指紋和其他證明文件寄給香港警方。

 

Support before, during, and after your pregnancy 

NHS Scotland provides pregnancy, labour, and postnatal care. You’ll also have regular pre-birth (antenatal) appointments with your obstetrician or midwife. These appointments could be at a midwife hub, hospital, in your home or via video calls using NHS Near Me. 

These appointments include growth checks to assess the growth of your baby, screenings and diagnostic tests, and provide you with an opportunity to discuss any concerns with your midwife. You will also get the opportunity to book antenatal classes (sometimes referred to as parent education classes) that help you and your partner prepare for the birth and being a parent. 

You should discuss any details of a previous pregnancy abroad or in Hong Kong with your midwife, as this will allow your midwife to ensure you feel comfortable and supported. This is especially important if you experienced any issues during a previous pregnancy. 

Your antenatal care in Scotland is recorded in the Scottish Women-Held Maternity Record (SWHMR), which you can access electronically via an app. This includes information about previous pregnancies, health screenings and test results, and your birth plan, amongst other things.

Pregnancy Screening

You will be offered the opportunity to have screening tests during your pregnancy. These tests assess the chance that your baby will be born with a health condition, such as Down’s syndrome. Any screening and diagnostic tests are provided free of charge by the NHS. These tests can help you make decisions about your pregnancy and help you prepare for your baby and any additional support needs they may need. 

During your pregnancy, you will be offered blood tests and ultrasound scans to test for:

  • sickle cell and thalassaemia
  • full blood count, blood group and Rhesus status (positive or negative)
  • Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome and Patau’s syndrome
  • infectious diseases (hepatitis B, syphilis and HIV)

You can decide which tests you do or do not wish to have. If, for example, you do not wish to find out whether you or your child has a health condition, then this is something you can discuss with your midwife or other healthcare professionals. 

Find out more about pregnancy screening here. This page also includes a table depicting when in the pregnancy certain tests are conducted. 

After birth, you will be offered a newborn screening – this is something you will discuss with your midwife as you approach the end of your pregnancy. Newborn screenings are usually undertaken within the first few weeks of life, and include a physical examination, a hearing test, and blood spot tests. Again, it is completely up to you which tests you choose to have done. These tests are all provided free of charge by the NHS. Find out more information about newborn screening here

Baby Box

Every baby that is born in Scotland is entitled to a free Baby Box. This welcome gift includes key baby essentials, such as clothing, nappy vouchers, baby books, play mats, toys, towels, and more. 

You must opt into this scheme via your midwife at approximately 20 weeks after birth. You can find more information about the Baby Box here

FAQs

Do I need to pay for screening and diagnostic tests during my pregnancy?

No, all screening and diagnostic tests in Scotland are provided completely free of charge by the NHS. Any treatment for children born with certain health conditions or disabilities is also provided free by the NHS. 

I have recently arrived in Scotland and I am already 10 weeks pregnant – what should I do?

You should contact your GP in the first instance. If you have not yet registered with a GP, you should mention you are pregnant when registering, as this may help speed up the process. If you are concerned, you can also call NHS 24 by dialling 111.
