When you find out you are pregnant, you can refer yourself for NHS pregnancy care so you start care with a midwife right away.
Once you sign up online, the maternity team will contact you to book your first appointment with a midwife.
You should do this by the 10th week of pregnancy, if possible, but it’s never too late to start. If you're over 10 weeks, refer yourself as soon as you can.

Did you know your local NHS spends over £330 million on medicines every year? A big chunk of that, £26 million is wasted on unused repeat prescriptions. Before you reorder your medicines, check what you've already got and only order if you're running low - you can always get more when you need it. You’ll be helping your local NHS, keeping your home safer, and protecting the environment.
Only order what you need.
Stay well, stay safe, stay green.
