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
