Pregnancy and Midwifery Services
As soon as you find out you are pregnant you can book maternity care directly with Northumbria Healthcare Maternity Services instead of contacting your GP.
The maternity team recommend that you do this as soon as possible so that they can arrange your 1st booking appointment for between 8 – 10 weeks. This also helps them offer screening tests for you and your baby at the correct stage in your pregnancy.
Once you have submitted your registration form, a member of the community midwifery team will contact you by telephone to arrange your booking appointment. They will also give you access to your electronic hand-held records called Badgernotes.
Women who do not have internet access will be able to contact the service by phone to register for their pregnancy care.
