Our expert maternity team will tailor our care to your needs. Our website and information on this app will provide you with information on what to expect if you choose to have your baby with us.
At the Whittington Hospital we are here for you from the very start the very end of your pregnancy journey. Our maternity unit is at the forefront of innovation. This includes partners staying overnight, enhanced recovery, midwifery-led induction of labour and normalising birth. Our team will guide and support you through this exciting time in your life.
We tailor maternity care to your individual needs, from your first antenatal appointment with a midwife through to our midwives and health visitors seeing you and your baby at home after birth. This coordinated approach means that you will only have one care record with our Trust, which will enable you to enjoy a smoother journey of care during your pregnancy and beyond.
Once we have received your referral, you’ll be offered a series of appointments with a midwife. Most of your care will be provided by midwives in the community. If you have an intermediate or high-risk pregnancy our team of highly skilled obstetricians are here for you. During your pregnancy our midwives will check that you and your baby are well, give you useful information to help you have a healthy pregnancy (including healthy eating and exercise advice) and answer any questions you may have.
