Midwife Led Delivery Service (MLDS)
Based within the hospital's new Maternal and Fetal Wellbeing Centre the Midwife Led Delivery Service is a dynamic service provided by a small team of friendly and committed midwives offering a welcoming and relaxed environment for women with uncomplicated pregnancies. Please note that the Midwife Led Delivery Service is currently not available for first time pregnancies. For first time pregnancies please refer to the Consultant Led Care information.
The team provides care with support from leading Consultant Obstetricians, Sonographers and Physiotherapists. It offers the opportunity to get to know the Midwives caring for you in your pregnancy and labour, and for them to get to know you. The package of care is inclusive of routine ultrasound scans, antenatal care and delivery by team members who also visit during the postnatal hospital period. The package is based on use of a standard room, midwifery care and a 48 hour hospital stay from the time of admission.
For further information or to book a MLDS appointment please contact 020 7390 6333/6344.
