Where to get maternity support

Midwifery care during and after your pregnancy

In Southwark, King's College Hospital and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital support parents during:

  • pregnancy
  • birth
  • the postnatal period

Your GP can refer you to a hospital for your maternity care, or you can self-refer. 

Both hospitals offer midwife appointments in local hubs, and hospital-based births. They will also give you information about: 

  • community groups
  • emotional support
  • advice on preparing for birth and caring for your baby
