'Our experienced and friendly maternity team offer a wide range of birth choices for women in a variety of settings.'
The Lister’s Diamond Jubilee Maternity Unit opened in October 2011 and sees over 5,500 babies born every year. Our aim is to assist you to have a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby.
You can choose to have your baby at home, in our midwife-led unit, or in the consultant-led unit that provides care for women with more complicated pregnancies.
Our midwife-led unit and consultant-led unit are located at the Lister Hospital, Stevenage.
Currently we have five birthing pools in the maternity unit that may be used for labour and/or birth, including one in our consultant-led unit.
At East & North Herts NHS Trust we provide antenatal services at the Diamond Jubilee Maternity Unit, Hertford County Hospital and at the QE2 Hospital in Welwyn Garden City.
