Finding Out You’re Pregnant

As soon as you suspect or know you are pregnant, we recommend you make an appointment with Morecambe Bay local maternity services as soon as possible.

In Morecambe Bay, your first midwife appointment can be arranged by an online self-referral form to UHMB maternity services

If you are unable to complete the online self-referral form, you can contact the community midwifery team directly by telephone, or via your GP, or be referred via a social worker or the support agency you are working with.

You don’t need to see a GP before seeing a midwife unless you specifically want to. Midwives can inform your GP of your pregnancy and update them on your care and progress.
