As services begin to recover from Covid-19, NHS Lanarkshire has reinstated home births.Cheryl Clark, NHS Lanarkshire’s chief midwife, said: “As we move forward more of our services will begin to return.
The first of these, is being able to offer home births again. Mums-to-be can discuss their birthing options with their midwife.”On other maternity services, Cheryl added: “We are continuing to ask pregnant women who are scheduled to attend for ultrasound scans, appointments in our maternity day bed unit, antenatal clinics and maternity triage to attend on their own.
These restrictions will be lifted as soon as it is safe to do so.“We would like to thank you for your continued patience and we hope to bring you more information about services.
