We have a big team at both of our hospitals. This includes doctors, midwives, nurses, healthcare support workers, and other friendly staff. We all work together to give the best care and support to you and your family.

We also have a great team who work in the community, so some care can happen closer to your home.

Every pregnancy is different. Some people and babies may need extra care. We offer special help and advice for things like:

Pregnancy checks (screening)
Diabetes
Medical conditions
Birth choices
Having a baby after a caesarean
Vaccinations
Twins, triplets, or more babies

Meeting your Midwives

Our midwives are here to care for you during your pregnancy, your baby’s birth, and after your baby is born.

We know it’s important to feel safe and comfortable, so we try to make sure you see the same midwives as much as possible.

Sometimes, you might also see other healthcare staff who are there to help you too.

When Will I See a Doctor or Consultant?

You might see a doctor or consultant at any time during your pregnancy, your baby’s birth, or after your baby is born.

This could be at check-up clinics, special clinics, on the labour ward, or during your recovery.

We make sure every family gets the care and support that’s right for them.

See MY CARE for contact links.
