Pregnancy

Having a baby is a life-changing and wonderful experience . Wirral maternity services provide support to all pregnant women and guide them every step of the way. All pregnant women in Wirral have a named Community Midwife to provide individualised professional and supportive antenatal and postnatal care, regardless of the intended place of birth.

Maternity Services – Wirral Women and Children’s Hospital – to register your pregnancy you can make a self referral using this link. Alternatively you can call 0151 604 7777.
