The new Canberra Maternity Options service will help women to understand their options and make an informed decision about what pregnancy and birthing care would best suit them and their family.

When you find out you’re pregnant, call 5124 9977 to arrange to meet with a midwife close to your home. At the appointment, the midwife will talk to you about public pregnancy and birthing options, your health care needs and personal preferences and find the best maternity care for you.
