Good luck to Jenny who begins her 100km May challenge today⭐

Jenny decided to take on the challenge to raise funds for the Special Care Baby Unit at Macclesfield Hospital, after her son received care on the unit last year. Jenny is hoping to raise money to help the unit purchase a new sofa bed for parents staying on the ward🩷

💛 Protecting You and Your Baby During Pregnancy 💛

Vaccinations in pregnancy help protect you, your baby, and your pregnancy. You can book all of your recommended pregnancy vaccines directly through our Antenatal Clinic.

📍 Our vaccination clinics run at the Antenatal Unit at Macclesfield General Hospital every Wednesday to Friday.

Please ask about booking while you’re attending an appointment, or call 01625 661163 ( Monday - Friday) and we’ll do our best to coordinate your vaccine alongside your routine antenatal visits at the appropriate stage of your pregnancy.

If you have any questions or concerns about the Flu, Whooping Cough (Pertussis), or Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccines, our dedicated vaccination nurse will be very happy to talk these through with you.

Your health and your baby’s protection matter to us 💕

“Hi, I wanted to share some feedback (I hope this is the right place, otherwise please let me know). I also hope to bob onto the ward to say my thank you in person but until then...

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the entire Maternity Unit staff for the wonderful care I received during the recent birth of our son Sebastian on 28.02.2026.

The care I received during my birth and postpartum was outstanding. I was able to experience the most amazing birth thanks to Hayley (night midwife), Mary (day midwife), Debbie (shift co-ordinator) and Stephen (consultant) - something I dreamt of but never thought would be a possibility.

The care I received on the postnatal ward was also faultless, nothing was too much and every effort was made to ensure I left confident to breastfeed my baby effectively.

You made us feel heard, safe, and valued every step of the way. We are forever thankful for your support and safely bringing our baby into the world. 💙🩵💙”

Congratulations and welcome to the world Sebastian
