Around 6000 babies are born in the Trust each year, and we strive to provide women, birthing people and families with the best possible experience of pregnancy and childbirth. We hope that you will find all the information you will require throughout your pregnancy journey on our website, however, if you have any questions please contact us.

If you are pregnant and wish to have your care with Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust please refer yourself using our Maternity self-referral form.

News and updates

We are delighted to announce that our waterbirths on Delivery Suite at Tunbridge Wells Hospital have been reinstated. The previous difficulties we encountered with water flow and maintaining water temperatures have been rectified and we can safely resume this valuable choice to our service users.

We recognise that the absence of a provision of waterbirths have affected some of our families and for this we sincerely apologise for the impact on your experience and and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our aim is to provide the best and safest service at all times and is at the forefront to everything we do.

We are booking birth place assessments for all ‘low risk’ women and pregnant people who are more than 34 weeks. Please speak to your community midwife or phone our birth centres directly to arrange a birth place assessment or to discuss out of hospital birth options.

Polite reminder: Unfortunately, at this time, children are not allowed to attend your appointments.

We would like to thank you for your continued support.
