Would you like to talk with somebody about your options for place of birth?
Some women may find it helpful to talk to someone about their birth options. This is especially true if they have had a pregnancy, labour or birth that was difficult previously, or if something unexpected happened. It is not unusual to be unsure about your options or what effect any choices may have on this pregnancy and birth.You can speak to your midwife, and if needs be she will refer you to a birth options clinic, which is normally run by the consultant midwife at your chosen maternity unit.If you are considering requesting a planned caesarean birth, this decision would be made with you and the specialist midwifery and obstetric teams. Ask your midwife to refer you to the appropriate clinic, where you will be able to discuss your options.
