Community Midwifery

Community midwives provide care before birth (antenatal), during birth (intrapartum) and after birth (postnatal) to all pregnant women in Sandwell and West Birmingham.

When you give birth in hospital, a midwife will be with you when you are in labour. Midwives provide antenatal care in many locations, including at Aston Pride Community Health Centre, GP surgeries and children’s centres (family hubs). Postnatal care can be provided at home, in a nearby clinic or over the phone.
