Moving house during pregnancy...

Hello chaps. I'm moving into our very first home in late February, and due to give birth mid May.

I'll still be able to give birth in the same hospital, which is great. But I won't be in the same catchment area for my GP practice or community midwife. I'd ideally like to stay with the practice and the midwife for the duration and am wondering whether to just not inform them I've moved away.....

Wondering if anyone has any experience of this. I'll be getting all my post redirected for several months anyway, so it's likely the practice won't find out.

Have also checked out the services in my new area and they just don't seem as good.

Deceptive, yes. But can I get away with it??

I moved into a new area whilr pregnant, abd was v upfront about it. The midwives at my GP's surgery (they hold a weekly clinic) invited me in and took notes on my case in case I couldn't get to my chosen hospital. In the end, I popped at home, the ambulance crew got a midwife out from the local PCT (DD already born, but I needed plwcenta delivering, neonatal checks, etc., and wanted to stay at home rather than go to hospital.

Your and your DC's afterbirth care (midwives then health visitors from about day 5) has to be the licsl teams.

Hope that helps!
