❤ Tomorrow we launch our MLU based continuity team at SWBH ❤

Cedar Team will care for women planning to birth on Serenity, from 25 weeks of pregnancy, through birth and beyond.

All of our eight team midwives are based on the birth centre and will hold an ante/postnatal clinic at City Hospital each week, providing continuity of carer to around 420 women each year.

The Serenity team have been working hard today to get our clinic space ready for our first mums-to-be tomorrow and we can't wait to see you all!

Big thanks to Cedar Midwife Elly for modelling our clinic space today 😍
