For patients seeking an opinion, useful records include prior pregnancy notes, ultrasound reports, blood tests, cervical screening results, fertility investigations and details of previous surgery or complications.

Management depends on maternal and fetal risk, gestational age, prior obstetric history and the underlying gynaecological diagnosis. The final plan may involve surveillance, medical treatment, procedural care or surgery after specialist assessment. In pregnancy cases, serial ultrasound, blood-pressure monitoring, glucose assessment and fetal surveillance may also be needed, depending on maternal risk factors and gestational progress. Medication history should also be included.
