Meadow Birth Centre
You can read all the COVID-19 advice for Maternity patients here
Meadow Birth Centre, a brand new midwife-led Birth Centre, opened at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in April 2015. It gives you more choice over where your baby is delivered.
The centre, run by experienced midwives, offers a comfortable environment where birth is treated as a ‘normal’ process (without intervention), rather than a medical one.
The four-room centre (each with an en-suite) is near to the current delivery suite, but not a part of it. It looks and feels homely – not like a hospital – helping you to feel comfortable and relaxed.
