All of the information needs to have been given by 34 weeks in order that women do not miss out by giving birth. It is worth considering how you give this information as women receive so much information during their pregnancy. Often it can be better to give pieces of information in an ongoing way throughout the pregnancy. Using a checklist to ensure that all necessary aspects are covered can be especially useful when care is shared amongst a team of midwives or with the obstetric team or GP.
