Reassurance Regarding Maternity Services
The WWL Maternity service remains open, however, we have been required to make some changes to how we see women, specifically in Antenatal Clinic and the community.
If you are due to be seen by a midwife or have an Antenatal Clinic appointment one of the Midwifery team will be in contact with you. Some appointments will be done via phone, however some will go ahead but prior to this a midwife will call you.
We appreciate you may be feeling anxious and have some very specific questions so please in the first instance contact your own Midwife her number is on the front of your green notes, if she is not available please contact the community hubs.
