How to use the personalised care and support plans

Personalised care and support plans help you to explore, understand and record your individual choices for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. As you work your way through the personalised care and support plans, refer to the revelant sections in the app. You can change your preferences at any time. Your midwife and/or doctor can help you to complete or adapt your personalised care and support plans at any point, and you are encouraged to share your plans and preferences with them throughout pregnancy. It is important to remember that a plan is just that – and that things may need to be reviewed and changed around your needs and the needs of your baby, to ensure care is always high quality and safe. You can print out your personal care and support plan(s) and keep them with your maternity notes, and share them with your maternity team as you wish.

What to consider?

Many women opt to book for care with their nearest maternity unit and there are some benefits to making this choice:
  • you are more likely to receive care from a small team of midwives, in a location close to home
  • you are more likely to get to know one midwife, and one team which can improve your maternity experience
  • you will have less distance to travel when you are in labour
  • if you would like to have a homebirth this must be booked through your local maternity unit, this may not be your nearest unit 
  • care at home after your baby is born is always provided by your local midwife team (this is likely to be a team that you have already met).

Other considerations when making your choice:

  • facilities available
  • public transport and ease of parking
  • ease of travel to and from your place of work
  • recommendations from your friends, family and others 
  • where you have previously received maternity or other health care
