Maternity care

For mum. For baby. Expert care, from the beginning.

We are dedicated to the care and safety of mothers and babies.

Exceptional safety and care

From your first consultation to the delivery of your baby and your final postnatal appointment, The Portland Hospital’s team of experts offer unparalleled care and support for you and your baby.

Our multidisciplinary team, made up of leading consultant obstetricians, midwives and nurses, work with you to create personalised care plans for you and your baby. Our hospital’s outstanding facilities include the UK’s only private on-site neonatal intensive care unit, a special care baby unit, and an adult high dependency unit, should you need additional, unexpected care. With your expert midwife assigned to you throughout your labour and delivery, a resident obstetric anesthetist on-site 24/7 and an emergency theatre on the labour ward, we’re prepared for all eventualities, which means you are, too.

Choice, support and comfort

How you choose to welcome your baby into the world is deeply personal. Offering you the choice of consultant- or midwife-led care, your delivery experience is built around how you want to bring your baby into the world. Whether you would like a water birth in our birthing pool, located in one of the private rooms on our labour ward, or want to deliver your baby to the sound of a specially created playlist, we’ll do everything we can to make your experience comfortable.

Our en-suite rooms are fully private and spacious enough to accommodate an extra bed for your partner or family, and we offer room service menus that cater to religious and special diets.

By your side throughout your pregnancy and beyond, you can access a range of holistic pregnancy and delivery services, including specialty scans, physiotherapy, newborn baby checks and postnatal and breastfeeding advice, so you’re supported every step of the way.
