Choosing where to have your baby
Choosing Where to Have Your Baby
All women and birthing people have the right to choose where they give birth to their baby. We will support you in your choice
Your midwife, and doctor if you have one, will offer recommendations on where may be the safest place for you and your baby based on your individual health and pregnancy needs
You may want to discuss options that are outside of these recommendations too.
You do not need to book your place of birth in advance, but it is useful to discuss this with your midwife during pregnancy.
The Choosing Where To Have Your Baby Leaflet aims to share information about your place of birth options if you are having pregnancy care with the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH).
