YOUR MEDICAL TEAM
Here’s the team looking after your medical care: Obstetrician In charge of your care during pregnancy and birth, they lead the team caring for you and your baby. You’ll see them a couple of times during pregnancy and they get involved if you have a complication in pregnancy, during the birth, or if you choose a Consultant-led birth. They may be a good choice if you have had complications during your pregnancy or a previous complicated birth.
Midwife A nurse with additional training in the care of mothers and their babies, they attend uncomplicated deliveries and are with you from the early contractions until after the birth; they also see you during pregnancy and are a mine of information on everything from healthy eating, pregnancy health, morning sickness and ways to ease contraction pains through to the early moments bonding with your baby, breastfeeding and baby care.
