Midwives
Once your pregnancy has been confirmed by your GP, your ante natal care will be provided by a team of midwives. They are based at The Pavilion in the grounds of Sevenoaks Hospital and provide most of the local care for pregnant women and also for women with newborn babies once you are home from hospital.
You will enter into a trusting relationship with your midwife who will get to know you and work with your family unit towards a satisfactory and fulfilling outcome to your pregnancy. The midwives run antenatal clinics at the hospital and throughout the week and are available to offer advice on pregnancy, labour and postnatal period.
If you wish to contact them please ring 01732 470341, you may leave a message and a midwife will call you back. The midwives also work closely with the team of health visitors
