Fetal Medicine Midwives
The midwifery team has been developed to support the women and their families through their care through antenatal screening programmes and Fetal Medicine Unit. For the women booked in Leeds, we are often the first contact when a health condition is suspected with the baby. We provide information and preparation about what to expect if referred to FMU and attending for a Consultant review.
We then provide a point of contact for them if they require further information and support. We co-ordinate an MDT approach between the different specialities and participate in the care and birth planning appropriate for that family. As we strive to provide individualised care, some families receive postnatal follow up and support. This is guided by the needs of the family and linking with external agencies such as the local hospices.
