Rhesus disease

Rhesus disease can occur in pregnancy when there’s a Rhesus incompatibility between mother and baby. The condition is unusual but serious when it occurs.

Ectopic pregnancies

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilised egg implants inside the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. It is a non viable pregnancy and an extremely serious condition that needs urgent attention.

Genetic testing

Depending on your cultural background, you, your partner, or the combination of you together, could mean that genetic testing is a sensible precaution.

Placenta previa

The placenta implants high in the top of the uterus. Occasionally part, or all of it, will implant in the lower segment of the uterus. This is known as placenta previa and more severe cases are prone to bleed heavily during labour.
