"No midwife appointments available"

About: Berryfields Medical Centre

I’m currently 39.5 weeks pregnant and there is no available midwife appointment for me in week 40. According to NHS I would be able to get this appointment without any issues, but not in Berryfields medical centre. The earliest available midwife appointment is on the 2nd of July which is in 3 weeks! Obviously I am being left on my own now without any help or a chance to speak to my midwife about any possible concerns I have. My unborn baby is not important enough so I will be looking for another GP surgery. Very sad!

We are very sorry to see this comment and surprised. 2 midwives work out of Berryfields practice and offer over 30 appointments a week. In addition the midwives are happy to arrange home visits and will accept a call on their direct line which is provided to each pregnant mother. We would be happy to discuss this further.
