Realising your birth plan
We encourage you to be involved in all decisions regarding your care. It’s natural for parents to have expectations regarding their birth and it is very important that you discuss your wishes with your obstetrician and midwife. Our expert team will work with you to help you achieve the birthing experience of your choice.
If you have a birth plan please speak to your obstetrician and be sure to bring it with you on admission.
