After the service, the names of your babies will be displayed on the tree in The Spiritual Care Centre, or if you wish, you may take your angel home with you.

Please allow time for parking. There is parking on Weston Park (10 minute walk) and Purlewent Drive (footpath to the church from the west end of Purlewent Drive). If you are less mobile, please use church car park off Lynfield Park, accessible only via Trafalgar Road (note satnav BA1 4ER).

Welcome to all our lovely babies born in September 🧡

Please find a still infographic in the comments for you to print for memory boxes.

They reflect personal choices, medical needs and clinical decisions made in real time for the safety of mothers, birthing people and babies. Further interpretation of this data requires clinical context and expertise. Please engage with care and understanding.

✨ Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) Support ✨

Are you experiencing pelvic pain?

The Perinatal Pelvic Health Service (a bit confusingly) is NOT the right service for you. Instead, please self-refer to the Adult Physiotherapy Service to receive the care you need.

🔹 If your concern is coming from outside your pelvis - such as pelvic girdle pain, abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti), hip pain, back pain, leg pain, or carpal tunnel ---> self-refer to the Adult Physiotherapy Service via https://bswcommunityservices.co.uk/services/adult-physiotherapy-service/ (under 'How to access the service' > 'Referral information').

🔹 If your concern is coming from inside your pelvis - such as bladder leaks, bowel leaks, pain during s*x or feeling heaviness / dragging / bulging in your va**na ---> self-refer to the Perinatal Pelvic Health Service via our linktree.



This is because they are two very different types of physiotherapy.

You may have noticed the construction of the new Trowbridge Integrated Care Centre (TICC). Once the building is complete (expected early in 2026) all maternity appointments will take place there. The new facility is state-of-the-art, with improved amenities and additional parking. We will confirm the exact moving date as soon as possible.

Changes from 21 January 2026
From 21 January 2026, all administration and midwifery services at Trowbridge will be managed under Frome Birth Centre, led by Midwifery Sister Pam Walsh.
Your midwife will remain available for appointments at Trowbridge (and later at TICC), but the team will officially be part of the Frome service.

What does this mean for you?
From 21 January, if you need to contact the Trowbridge community team, please call our central line and select the Frome option.

FAQs
Q: It’s 22 January and I need to change my appointment at Trowbridge Maternity. What do I do?
Call 01225 826454, select Option 2, then select Frome.
Q: It’s 22 January and I’m worried about my baby’s movements. What do I do?
No change! Call 01225 826454 and select Option 1.
Q: I have all my appointments at Trowbridge Maternity. Where should I go now?
Please continue attending Trowbridge Maternity until we confirm TICC is ready.

We will notify everyone when it’s time to move, and your Badger Notes app will be updated with the new address.
