Full pregnancy care is provided by the Community Midwives. Ante-natal clinics are held twice weekly by appointment.

If you discover you are pregnant you can book an appointment directly with the midwife but we do recommend that you make your first (booking) appointment between the 8th and 10th week of pregnancy.
