Antenatal Contact

The Midwifery service will let your Specialist Public Health Nurse (Health Visitor) know that you’re expecting a baby. Health Visitors work with children and young people aged 0-5 years and their families.

 

The Health Visiting service is currently revising and updating their antenatal contact offer. A new Antenatal group session (Beyond Bump) will start in January 2027.

You will receive a text message inviting you to book a place for you and your partner to attend this free single group session.
