What is the CUMH Domino Service?
1. It is a high quality, women centered service for healthy pregnant women who are at low risk of complications in pregnancy.
2. Provides midwife-only care including physical, emotional, social support and health education for women who are likely to have a normal pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal period.
3. is seperate to the consultant led service, but we work in very close partnership with doctors.
4. is organised and run by a team of midwives and has a senior midwife responsible for the day to day management of the service. The Domino Service aims to give you:
1. The same team of midwives to care for you throughout your pregnancy up until the week after your baby is born.
2. One-to-one midwifery care throughout your labour, helping you to achieve a normal birth with as few interventions as possible.
3. Additional choice for childbirth. Who can avail of this service? If you are likely to have a normal pregnancy, live within a 5 mile radius of CUMH and are looking for an intervention free birth and early discharge home, our service may be perfect for you. How do I book onto the scheme?
