About Our Service
After your booking visit, you will need to attend the hospital for a number of appointments depending on your health and your level of care. If you are under the Community Midwifery Service, you will attend your appointments at your community clinics. You might also be required to attend one of our specialist clinics so you and your baby can receive specialist care.
