As part of our commitment to being a more sustainable Trust and listening to feedback from our women and service users, we are pleased to announce our new online maternity hub aimed at digitalising maternity records – called My Pregnancy Notes – is now live.
If you have not yet let us know that you are pregnant and you would like to receive maternity care from our Trust, please visit our new online maternity hub – My Pregnancy Notes – and click ‘Register’. When completing a self-referral, please ensure you provide an LMP (last menstrual period) date in the field provided.

This is a 20-minute face-to-face screening appointment in the Antenatal Clinic. It will include routine observations, smoking screening, consent for antenatal screening, blood tests, and arranging a dating scan.
By week 10 of your pregnancy, a full maternity booking by the community midwifery team in your local area will take place. Those who live outside the area, bookings will take place at either Lister or New QEII.
Registered at a GP surgery outside of East and North Hertfordshire?
If you are registered at a GP surgery outside of East and North Hertfordshire (ENHT) catchment area (Bedfordshire, West Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, etc) and are choosing to birth at ENHT:
We are delighted that you have chosen to give birth at ENHT. However, the community antenatal care (the care before you have your baby when you see your community midwife) will be provided by another maternity unit.
Having care from one maternity unit is recommended for a streamlined experience giving you consistent and safer care.
Choosing to give birth at a maternity unit which does not provide your community antenatal care may lead to your referrals, reviews and receiving of results, being disjointed.
We recommend you choose to give birth maternity unit that provides your antenatal care, whether at home or hospital, to give you the best experience throughout your maternity journey.
