Maternity Services

From the moment you find out you are pregnant your life is transformed. The Portland Hospital aims to work in partnership with you throughout your pregnancy, offering all of the services you will need including full antenatal care, your preferred or medically required delivery option and your postnatal care needs.

With our dedicated in-house facilities including an Ultrasound and Fetal Medicine Unit as well as a comprehensive range of pregnancy support classes and complementary therapies, our range of maternity services are unrivaled within the private sector in London.

Mothers-to-be who choose The Portland Hospital for their maternity care can rest assured in the confidence that they will receive the highest quality specialist treatment for their pregnancy and birth. Established in 1983, The Portland Hospital has now delivered over 32,000 babies and is equipped with facilities to care for potential complications for both mother and baby.

The Portland Hospital's Maternity Unit incorporates 5 delivery suites on the dedicated labour ward and 30 en-suite bedrooms across the two postnatal floors including 21 single bedrooms, 3 double bedded rooms, 2 deluxe rooms and 4 suites. In addition, two nurseries are available to provide assistance and advice in caring for your baby. Unmatched by other private units, our maternity service is complemented by the full resource of our children's hospital including a special care baby unit and neonatal intensive care for babies born over 32 weeks gestation.

Both Consultant led and Midwife led care is available dependent on your individual birthing requirements. Once your baby is born we offer evidence based advice on feeding and caring for your newborn, postnatal exercises and paediatric services such as newborn hearing tests, in addition to daily visits from a paediatrician.
