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/ antenatal 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/antenatal care.
