In Angus we have a two Community Maternity Units (in Montrose and Arbroath). Currently births are being supported only in Arbroath , a homely unit which provides a calm, friendly and safe environment for women who are not expected to require assistance from a Doctor during labour and birth.
Mothers and babies can stay in the units from 6 to 24 hours after baby is born.
The Maternity Unit in Arbroath provides water for labour and birth and a low transfer (during labour) rate.
The Angus Midwifery Team have achieved Unicef “baby friendly” accreditation for their support of women to breastfeed their babies in Angus.
If you would like to consider birth in Angus please contact us and we can review your pregnancy, discuss your options and show you around our homely unit.
