Shared Care Option

Under the Shared Care option, a midwife or general practitioner is your lead maternity carer but you shared care with the Shore Birth Specialists.

A Shore Birth Specialist will see you for approximately 3 or 4 antenatal visits but you will see your Lead Maternity Carer for other appointments.

When you go into labour, you contact your LMC and once admitted to delivery suite your LMC will contact us. A Shore Birth Specialist will visit you during your labour and be present for your delivery. Your LMC will arrange your postnatal care and see you for your six week postnatal check.

The fee for Shared Care covers 3 – 4 antenatal appointments and your delivery.

If more than 4 antenatal visits are required, there will be an additional cost per appointment, or you may wish to upgrade to Full Care.

We look forward to caring for you during this very special time.
