The Better Births report has set out a vision for maternity services across England to become safer, more personalised, kinder, professional and more family friendly.
The Trust is part of a developing Local Maternity and Neonatal System (Humber and North Yorkshire) that offers choice where to have your care and give birth. This includes York, Scarborough, Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Hull. Click here to find out more about the Local Maternity and Neonatal System.
Birth reflections
Pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period can be different for every woman/birthing person and their families.
For some women, their birth experience may not be what they hoped for. Birth often brings up big emotions and it may be helpful to have the space to reflect and talk about these feelings and experiences with a midwife or other health care professional who will also have access to your notes.
Weeks, months or even years after the birth of your baby, you may find that you would like more information about what happened during their birth and why certain things were done.
The Birth Reflections service aims to support you by allowing you to talk through these feelings and events, and have a better understanding of what happened during your labour and birth.
