Private obstetric care allows you to see and get to know your obstetrician from the earliest stage of pregnancy. This provides you with the opportunity to be cared for by the most qualified person at each and every one of your appointments. At a time when it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the information you are provided with this helps you to feel confident in your pregnancy. In the very rare event of your obstetrician not being available, they will arrange cover by another consultant colleague.

​

Private maternity care allows you to have direct access to an experienced consultant obstetrician who can answer your questions personally. Importantly they will be available for any emergencies. During the course of your pregnancy through your ante-natal appointments you are able to develop a personal relationship with your consultant and together you can plan what is best for you, your partner and your baby.

​

Over the course of your ante-natal appointments you will develop a personal and close relationship with your consultant obstetrician and this helps significantly when you’re in labour. Knowing that you have a highly trained and experienced clinician at hand can make labour a lot less stressful.

​

And, there are the obvious benefits of the private facilities at both The Kensington Wing and The Portland. You will have your own private room and bathroom, this is especially important when you have just given birth and want to enjoy those special moments with your new baby and family.
