We are very excited to announce that from today (1st of August), we will have a team of midwives based at the Mary Stanley Unit in Bridgwater 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!
As part of a relaunch of the Mary Stanley Unit, the midwifery team is calling on prospective parents to consider using the modern birthing unit in Bridgwater.
NICE and the National Maternity Review have said that women at low risk of complications are more likely to have a normal delivery at a birth centre, and are less likely to need an intervention, such as Caesarean section. They also tend to use less pain relief during labour.

The staff at the Mary Stanley Unit also hold open evenings (6-8pm) on the first Tuesday of every month, where prospective parents can take a tour of the facilities, meet the team, and ask any questions they might have.
