Maternity care during pregnancy

Maternity care is the care you get from health professionals during your pregnancy. It's also called 'antenatal care'. 

As soon as you think you're pregnant, make an appointment to see a GP or midwife.  

You can refer yourself directly to a midwife by contacting your local maternity services clinic.
