As soon as you know you are pregnant, please get in touch with your local maternity unit to book your first appointment. This is called your ‘booking appointment’, and you will meet a midwife for the first time.
Ideally you should be seen by a midwife by the time you are 10 weeks pregnant, or as early into your pregnancy as possible.
You can make your first appointment quickly and easily by self-referring directly to your local maternity unit or visiting your GP.
