Maternity Care: GPs Role
The GPs are normally responsible for the specific maternity care of a patient registered with the Practice from when she becomes pregnant to fourteen days after the birth of the baby.
A patient will probably see her doctor to confirm her pregnancy and then the GP will refer to the community midwife. A midwife is usually the first and main contact for the expectant mother during her pregnancy, throughout labour and postnatal period. The GP will only normally be involved in other ongoing medical matters or to provide prescriptions if required.
For the delivery responsibility for the care of the mother and baby passes to the midwives or consultant obstetrician at the hospital.
