<meta name="description" content="The original antenatal care guideline was published by NICE in 2003. Since then a number of important pieces of evidence have become available, particularly concerning gestational diabetes, haemoglobinopathy and ultrasound, so that the update was initiated. This update has also provided an opportunity to look at a number of aspects of antenatal care: the development of a method to assess women for whom additional care is necessary (the &lsquo;antenatal assessment tool&rsquo;), information giving to women, lifestyle (vitamin D supplementation, alcohol consumption), screening for the baby (use of ultrasound for gestational age assessment and screening for fetal abnormalities, methods for determining normal fetal growth, placenta praevia), and screening for the mother (haemoglobinopathy screening, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and preterm labour, chlamydia).">

<meta name="warning" content="January 2019: Recommendation 1.8.8.1 on screening for German measles (rubella) has been withdrawn by NICE as this is no longer offered by the NHS. December 2018: Recommendations 1.3.9.1 -1.3.9.3 have been stood down and replaced with a link to up-to-date advice from the UK Chief Medical Officer. January 2017: A footnote was added to recommendation 1.6.2.2 linking to the NICE diagnostics guidance on high-throughput non-invasive prenatal testing for fetal RHD genotype (DG25). March 2016: Recommendations 1.9.1.1 -1.9.1.3 have been deleted as the guideline they were taken from has since been updated. For guidance on assessing risk of gestational diabetes, see the section on risk assessment in the NICE guideline on diabetes in pregnancy. December 2014: Recommendations 1.5.6.1 to 1.5.6.4 were replaced by recommendations in the NICE guideline on antenatal and postnatal mental health. November 2014: Recommendation 1.3.2.4 was updated to take into account NICE's guideline on vitamin D: increasing supplement use among at-risk groups. June 2010: The recommendations about smoking in pregnancy in section 1.3.10 of this guideline have been further developed in how to stop smoking in pregnancy and following childbirth NICE guideline PH26. We have removed the following recommendation from the antenatal care guideline, as well as the quick reference guide and information for the public: 1.3.10.7 Women who are unable to quit smoking during pregnancy should be encouraged to reduce smoking.">

December 2018: Recommendations 1.3.9.1 -1.3.9.3 have been stood down and replaced with a link to up-to-date advice from the UK Chief Medical Officer. January 2017: A footnote was added to recommendation 1.6.2.2 linking to the NICE diagnostics guidance on high-throughput non-invasive prenatal testing for fetal RHD genotype (DG25). March 2016: Recommendations 1.9.1.1 -1.9.1.3 have been deleted as the guideline they were taken from has since been updated. For guidance on assessing risk of gestational diabetes, see the section on risk assessment in the NICE guideline on diabetes in pregnancy. December 2014: Recommendations 1.5.6.1 to 1.5.6.4 were replaced by recommendations in the NICE guideline on antenatal and postnatal mental health. November 2014: Recommendation 1.3.2.4 was updated to take into account NICE's guideline on vitamin D: increasing supplement use among at-risk groups. June 2010: The recommendations about smoking in pregnancy in section 1.3.10 of this guideline have been further developed in how to stop smoking in pregnancy and following childbirth NICE guideline PH26. We have removed the following recommendation from the antenatal care guideline, as well as the quick reference guide and information for the public: 1.3.10.7 Women who are unable to quit smoking during pregnancy should be encouraged to reduce smoking.</strong></p><div class="main-content lit-style"><div class="fm-sec bkr_bottom_sep"><div class="bkr_thumb"><a href="https://www.rcog.org.uk/" title="RCOG Press" class="img_link icnblk_img" ref="pagearea=logo&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=publisher"><img class="source-thumb" src="/corehtml/pmc/pmcgifs/bookshelf/thumbs/th-nicecg62-lrg.png" alt="Cover of Antenatal Care" /></a></div><div class="bkr_bib"><h1 id="_NBK51886_"><span itemprop="name">Antenatal Care</span></h1><div class="subtitle">Routine Care for the Healthy Pregnant Woman</div><p><i>NICE Clinical Guidelines, No. 62</i></p><p class="contrib-group"><h4>Authors</h4><span itemprop="author">National Collaborating Centre for Women's and Children's Health (UK)</span>.</p><div class="half_rhythm">London: <a href="https://www.rcog.org.uk/" ref="pagearea=meta&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=publisher"><span itemprop="publisher">RCOG Press</span></a>; <span itemprop="datePublished">2008 Mar</span>.<div class="small">ISBN-13: <span itemprop="isbn">978-1-904752-46-2</span></div></div><div><a href="/books/about/copyright/">Copyright</a> &#x000a9; 2008, National Collaborating Centre for Women&#x02019;s and Children&#x02019;s Health.</div><a class="btn wsprkl bkr_rd" href="/books/n/nicecg62/fm-corrections/?report=reader">Read</a></div><div class="bkr_clear"></div></div><div class="bkr_bottom_sep bkr_bottom_margin body-content whole_rhythm"><div itemprop="description"><h2>Excerpt</h2><p>The original antenatal care guideline was published by NICE in 2003. Since then a number of important pieces of evidence have become available, particularly concerning gestational diabetes, haemoglobinopathy and ultrasound, so that the update was initiated. This update has also provided an opportunity to look at a number of aspects of antenatal care: the development of a method to assess women for whom additional care is necessary (the &#x02018;antenatal assessment tool&#x02019;), information giving to women, lifestyle (vitamin D supplementation, alcohol consumption), screening for the baby (use of ultrasound for gestational age assessment and screening for fetal abnormalities, methods for determining normal fetal growth, placenta praevia), and screening for the mother (haemoglobinopathy screening, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and preterm labour, chlamydia).</p></div></div></div><div class="fm-sec"><div><p>This is a partial update of the 2003 guideline.</p></div><div><p>While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within this publication, the publisher can give no guarantee for information about drug dosage and application thereof contained in this book.

However, as the relevant evidence base was discussed in the Intrapartum Care guideline (clinical guideline 55, published September 2007) and was there defined as &#x02018;four or more pregnancies&#x02019;, the definition in the Antenatal Care guideline needs to be consistent. There are two places where this needs to be corrected.
