What happens when I have completed my follow-up?
  • Always keep us up-to-date regarding your current address.
  • Let us know when you become pregnant.
  • It is important that you obtain an ultrasound in later pregnancies at 8-10 weeks in order to confirm normal development.
  • If you have a baby, the placenta should be reviewed by a pathologist. This can be done at your local hospital.
  • If you have a miscarriage, the slides of the tissue should be sent to us to be reviewed.
  • Six weeks following either a term delivery or miscarriage you must go in for a blood test for hCG, which should be sent to us. Serum hCG levels should be undetectable six weeks following either a miscarriage or term delivery.
