The East Lancashire Prevention Preterm Birth Clinic is a clinic specialising in the management of pregnancies at risk of having a premature birth (less than 34 weeks) or very early rupture of membranes (waters breaking early).
Women are seen by a small team of dedicated midwives, midwife sonographers and a specialist consultant. Women may have a transvaginal scan and abdominal ultrasound scan of their baby performed at every visit with the frequency of visits flexible depending on patient need.
