Beech Hill Medical Practice  

Maternity services within the practice are mainly undertaken by a team of midwives, based at Wigan hospital.

The midwives provide full antenatal cover with weekly clinics at the surgery.

In-patient maternity care is usually provided at Wigan Infirmary.

Post natal care is provided at home by the same team of midwives who looked after you during your pregnancy, thus ensuring good continuity of care throughout the ante-natal and post-natal period.

If you need advice before trying for pregnancy, please make an appointment to discuss this with one of the doctors. They may arrange some blood tests and give advice on what to do and what to avoid

If you discover you are pregnant, please arrange to see one of the doctors, who will arrange for you to see the midwives, within a few weeks, for an explanation of the way maternity services will affect you and to arrange some blood tests and a scan.

Post natal checks are offered at the surgery for you and your baby at 6 weeks.
