This is from Leeds hospitals maternity info
Families receiving maternity care in Leeds will be listened to and experience care that is safe, responsive and respectful to their needs and wishes throughout pregnancy and birth through to the Early Start Team. Every woman will have a named midwife. Ideally we would like to provide your care as early as possible in your pregnancy, with the first contact by 10 weeks.
How do I make my first appointment with a midwife?
You can do this by:
requesting an appointment with the midwife at your GP surgeryasking in your local Children’s Centre
If you have been unable to make an appointment via your GP or Children's Centre, please click here and compete a self-referral form.
The midwife will discuss the care pathways that would be available to you at your first appointment. You will be cared for by a midwife or maternity team depending on your individual needs.
