Here you’ll find a collection of resources, services, and community connections we’ve gathered to support you during pregnancy and beyond.
Maternity Services
Hundreds of thousands of newly pregnant women across England can now self-refer online to get their “all-important” first midwife appointments quicker, ensuring the best and most personalised care for their baby.
By completing a simple online form on NHS.uk mums-to-be can now refer themselves directly to their local maternity services without seeing a GP first.
The new NHS England service enables families to choose which NHS trust to refer themselves to, helping them to meet their midwife and begin NHS pregnancy care as early as possible.

Healthier Together
The NHS have set up a ‘Healthier Together’ initiative to provide advice to parents, young people and pregnant women who are concerned about their child’s health. This is to ensure that your child can consistently receive high quality care.
