The Delivery Suite

The Delivery Suite provides a comfortable environment for you to give birth in. A midwife will take care of you throughout your labour. You will find birthing balls, mats, birthing stools and other equipment that enables you to remain active during labour.

Here you will receive continuous combined care from a midwife and obstetrician (a doctor who specialises in pregnancy and childbirth) if needed.

On arrival to our maternity unit, you will go through to our triage, where you will be assessed by a midwife to see whether you are in labour. If you are, you will be admitted to the Delivery Suite. If not, a decision will be made by a doctor or midwife as to whether you should remain in hospital or return home. If you’re not in labour or if you are in early labour, you will probably be much more comfortable at home relaxing and sleeping when you can. You can always ring up for advice and assessment when to come back.

A room with a birthing pool is available.
