Local Maternity Services

As soon as you find out you’re pregnant, you should register your pregnancy with your local maternity service so you can receive pregnancy care to make sure you get all the information and appointments you need to have a healthy pregnancy.

Your first appointment with a midwife should happen before you’re 10 weeks pregnant.

If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant and have not seen a doctor or midwife, contact your local doctor or community midwifery team as soon as possible. They’ll see you quickly and help you start your pregnancy care.
