EPU is for women with a positive pregnancy test with pain and/or bleeding in early pregnancy. This is not a walk-in clinic. If you experience these symptoms in early pregnancy please contact your GP or midwife who will refer you to EPU.

Women may be referred to DAU for various reasons throughout pregnancy if their GP or community midwife has a concern that needs to be investigated further, from 14 weeks onwards. You can also self-refer to DAU if you have any concerns about your pregnancy such as reduced baby movements, pain or bleeding. DAU operates an appointment system so please always call first for an appointment.

Women who think that they are in labour and/or their waters have broken are seen first in our maternity triage.

Maternity triage offers a 24/7 service. If you have any concerns about your pregnancy outside of the DAU opening hours (above) please call Maternity triage to speak to a midwife before attending.

If you are planning a homebirth please also call Maternity triage when you think you might be in labour/and or your waters have broken so that the Homebirth midwife can contact you and together you can plan your ongoing care.
