You can chooses to have A/N care anywhere it is the mothers choice if you want it in Paulton you can and if you are low risk can deliver there just chat to the m/w's in Paulton. I am a midwife in Trowbridge Birthing Centre so I should know!!!! GP does not come into the equation!!!!!!

When I had DD2 I was told I would have to have my MW appointments at the surgery but could deliver at Paulton as long as I remained low risk. With DD2 I was based closer to Chippenham and had surgery based care with a view to deliver at Chippenham.

You can request your care be at Paulton Birthing Centre, as long as you are not considered high risk, that is.

I think at your booking in appt with your GP you can ask to be passed to PBC for MW care.

Hi,
I have recently found out I'm expecting my 2nd baby, due sometime in May next year.
With my first I lived in Midsomer Norton, and had all of my antenatal care (and delivery) at Paulton.
We moved into Bath a few years ago, and changed to a local GP surgery. Does that now mean that I will have to have all my antenatal care with the Midwives attached to the surgery? Or can I request to have my care at Paulton?
I've read on the Wilts maternity website that we can have a choice of how to access maternity care, but wasn't sure what exactly this means!
Anyone have any information?
Thanks.
