Preston Royal - Home from Home















Preston Mum's will soon be given the opportunity to give birth in a brand new midwifery-led birth centre at Preston Royal Hospital. A midwifery-led centre tends to offer more homely and relaxing environment than a hospital. Away from medicalised procedure midwives are able to offer a women-centred approach conducive to natural birth.
The centre is to offer en-suite rooms, a number of birthing pools and overnight accommodation for the birthing partner: enabling support and bonding in the precious first hours of the baby's life.
More about opening dates to follow...
