Pregnancy support service contacts

Sometimes, things do not go as planned during pregnancy, and extra support is needed. Your midwife can answer questions and direct you to further help.

If you have urgent concerns, contact a healthcare professional immediately.

Both Kettering and Northampton General Hospitals offer services to discuss previous births and plan for positive experiences. Advocate midwives are available for additional support.

If you’re newly pregnant or have moved to Northamptonshire, contact the midwife service. Interpreter services are available.
