Self-referral service for Lancashire Teaching Hospitals ( Includes Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley and South Ribble Hospital)

As soon as you find out you are pregnant you have the option to book your maternity care directly with Lancashire teaching Hospitals instead of seeing your GP; we encourage you to do this as soon as possible so you can see your midwife and have your early screening tests.

Note: Questions marked by * are mandatory

Please answer the questions as fully as possible as this will enable us to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.

When you submit the form our booking team will arrange your first booking appointment and also notify your GP of your pregnancy. Your first booking appointment will be sent to you via the email address you provide.

It is now routine practice for women to be seen on their own for the first 10 minutes of their appointment

If you do not receive an appointment within 2 weeks then please call us on 01772 524726

Folic acid

It is recommended that you start taking Folic acid (0.4mg) supplements as early in pregnancy as possible. These tablets are widely available in pharmacies and supermarkets. Folic acid is important for the development of your baby’s nervous system
