Once your pregnancy is confirmed you are advised to access antenatal pregnancy care. This can be such an exciting but anxious time. At The Portland Hospital Outpatients, our Private Midwife is here to ensure that you and your baby are thriving. She can provide you with an abundance of information and professional advice to assist you navigating your pregnancy options, enabling you to confidently make informed choices about your pregnancy and birth.

All women in the UK that are entitled to NHS care have access to a midwife throughout their pregnancy, but at times antenatal appointments may feel quite short. At The Portland Hospital Outpatients, our private antenatal appointments are available to support alongside those accessing NHS pregnancy care, private pregnancy care, those accessing both NHS and private care or those planning to deliver overseas. Appointments can be booked online at a convenient time for you and your partner, with short notice and same day appointment availability. Your private midwife consultation will last approximately 60 minutes, giving you time to discuss your pregnancy in a relaxing environment. Your partner is welcome to accompany you to your appointments, giving them the opportunity to be involved and ask questions too.

We offer a range of private midwife consultations, these appointments can be booked individually for your flexibility, or as a package. The Portland Hospital Outpatients offer two Private Midwife Antenatal Care Packages which include antenatal appointments, specified blood tests, a detailed early anatomy scans by our specialist sonographer and a postnatal appointment during the first 28 days after the birth to ensure you and baby are recovering well and thriving.
