Antenatal care

We guarantee that from the moment we meet you, until the day you and your baby are discharged, you will receive continuity of care from your obstetrician and our team of highly-skilled midwives. 

Whether you have a high or low risk pregnancy, we will work in partnership with you and support you throughout your pregnancy and birth journey. Under the guidance of your consultant obstetrician, we will ensure you are closely monitored and understand the options available to you. 

Our team has the expertise to give immediate advice on the next steps if an issue with your pregnancy or baby is detected. They will work closely with other specialist colleagues to ensure that any condition is investigated quickly. 

We also have a specialist service to support you if you have recurrent miscarriages or early pregnancy concerns.
