Contact and getting here

If you are pregnant and think you may need to come into hospital perhaps unexpectedly or in labour, please ring our Maternity Advice Line first on 0115 9709777.

This is so you can speak with a midwife first and they can make sure that you are directed to the best place or provided with best support/ advice straight away. The Maternity Advice Line is: free to call, open 24 hours a day and is manned by one of our friendly Midwives.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, there is a service called "Relay UK" which can support.

Routine Appointments
Please still call your community midwifery team for routine appointments, and if you receive a positive Covid-19 PCR test call 0115 962 7956.
