Teenage Pregnancy Team

We are a team of midwives and a support worker, who work with young women, their partners and families. If you think you are pregnant, you could go to your GP, do a home test or go to one of the sexual health clinics in your area (all of these services are confidential). Your GP can refer you or you can refer directly to the hospital on 0208 970 5757, or to a member of the Teenage Pregnancy Team on one of the numbers below.

Knowing you are pregnant early is good for lots of reasons. It gives you time to think about what you want to do, and it means you can have all the tests which women are offered in early pregnancy.

We will then book you into our care and you will get an appointment for a scan at the hospital. We will see you regularly for antenatal checks at one of our relaxed youth venues in your area. As well as you visiting us for checks, we will visit you at home, where we will discuss your labour and birth and you will have the chance to ask any questions and let us know what you want as your birth plan. This visit is on a one to one basis. As well as the visit above, our support worker will visit you at home at around 21 weeks into your pregnancy, to discuss sexual health, pregnancy awareness, and health promotion.

If you do not wish us to visit you at home we can arrange to meet you somewhere more convenient for you.

We are able to care for many of our young mums in labour and we will give you information to help you choose the best place for you to give birth to your baby whether at home or in hospital.

After the birth we will visit you for up to a month.

During your pregnancy and after delivery of your baby, we can introduce you to services that may be useful to you, such as; smoking cessation, breastfeeding workshops, parent education and family support, and also groups and facilities for young mums in your area.
