Labour Ward
Our Labour Ward is where you and your baby will be cared for during your labour and birth.
If you have experienced complications during pregnancy, it is likely that you will give birth in the Labour Ward; however, you can still choose to have your baby in the Labour Ward if you have not experienced complications during your pregnancy.
We have a dedicated team available to support you and nine comfortable and relaxing rooms, including a separate room should you present any high risk factors during your labour, and a birthing pool room.
All of our birthing rooms are equipped with birthing aids such a birth balls, stools and bean bags to encourage an active labour.
We also provide a full range pain relief of options to support you during your labour, including gas and air, Diamorphine, and an epidural.
