Our Maternity Pledge – Working to support healthy babies and new mothers
As part of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust’s continued commitment to providing the best possible maternity services to the people of Coventry and Warwickshire we have set out five pledges to ensure that every expectant mother and new baby is given support throughout their pregnancy journey to try and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Through this we aim to ensure every expectant mother is supported - from pregnancy, to birth, to those critical first months of parenthood - with a comprehensive package of personalised, high quality support:
Your pregnancy journey padlet: Find all the information you need about your pregnancy, screening, maternity leave and entitlements and much more.
Your feeding journey padlet: Lots of information on feeing your baby, including videos and support group information.
Preparation for labour and birth: Find all the information you need about your birth options, pain relief in labour and much more.
We would welcome comments and ideas from all of our service users. We hope to be able to answer some of your questions about our services on this site.
If you require any further information or clarification please ask your midwife.
