Doctor visit prep sheet

How to use the sheet

1. Choose the reason for your visit. The lists change to match it.
2. Fill in the notes at home, when you have time. They are saved on this device so you can come back to them.
3. Choose your 2 or 3 most important questions. The NHS suggests asking these first, so they are not left to the end.
4. Print the sheet or save it as a PDF, or copy it as text to send to yourself. Bring it to the visit.

Good to know

• Do not wait for an appointment if you have heavy bleeding, severe pain, leaking fluid, fever in pregnancy or reduced baby movements. Call the hospital on +91 944 103 0587, open 24/7 for delivery and emergency care, or see our emergency guide.
• It is fine to ask the doctor to repeat or explain anything. Writing down what you are told, or asking someone to do it, helps.
• Before you leave, check that you know what happens next, when, and who to contact if things get worse.
• See also what is checked at each pregnancy visit.
