Birth reflections service banner

Giving birth is a life-changing and emotional event. Sometimes your maternity journey may change from your original birth plan and may include something happening that you do not understand or that leaves you with unanswered questions.

At PAHT, we have a birth reflections service available where you can meet with a midwife to discuss your experience in confidence, with access to your notes.

These appointments can be held virtually or face-to-face and typically last an hour. You are also welcome to bring a partner, relative or friend with you.

If you would like a birth reflections appointment, please email paht.birthreflections@nhs.net with your name, date of birth and/or NHS number.

Inpatient comment:

Everyone offered words of such reassurance and kindness. I felt so cared for and the communication with me at all times was fantastic.
