Consultant-led care is advised for anyone who is at higher risk. If you had complications in a previous pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia, a twin pregnancy in this pregnancy, or a health condition such as diabetes, you would be best placed with consultant-led care.
Many low-risk women also choose to be consultant-led as they feel reassured by the extra scans and monitoring that this approach provides. On a consultant-led package, you will choose your named consultant and have a scan with them at every appointment, as well as the option of NIPT screening.
A midwife is also present for all appointments, so you won't miss out on the midwifery input, parent education, birth planning, etc.
If you choose to be on a midwife-led package, your appointments can be taken at your home or in the clinic. Our midwives are trained in complementary therapies to ease common pregnancy ailments such as nausea and breech presentation.
Your midwife will check you and your baby at each appointment and use complementary therapies where appropriate. If your named midwife has any concerns, they’ll refer you to your NHS hospital or to one of the consultants at the clinic for review.

‘When I first found out I was pregnant, I was nervous about the birth,’ Linsey admits. After starting maternity care at The Portland Hospital, she was told about the range of antenatal classes available. One that particularly stood out was hypnobirthing. Hypnobirthing is a technique designed to provide a calm and comfortable birthing experience. It involves practices such as controlled breathing, visualisations and deep relaxation.
