A range of support, information and advice is available to you if you're expecting a baby, or have recently become a parent.

If you're pregnant?

Did you know that you can contact a midwife directly on 01743 261085 or text 07797 800025 leaving your name and a contact number?

Your local midwife-led units are:

We also run regular bumps to babes groups at our centres, so why not come along? These groups offer a friendly place to make friends and share experiences before your baby arrives, and during the early months of parenthood. Support workers and other practitioners are available to provide help and advice.

Have you recently had a baby?

Health visitors provide an advice line to give you information and support on a wide range of issues for families and children under five years of age. If there's no answer please leave a message and they'll call you back.
