What to know or do
Ask who can help after birth, how weight and hydration will be assessed, how medicines or previous breast surgery affect planning and when antenatal colostrum expression is or is not advised.
What changes the answer
- Whether this is screening, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or birth planning
- Pregnancy week, previous results and what the result could change
- Benefits, limits, alternatives, follow-up and the time available to decide

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
