Maternity self referral
When deciding which hospital, out of the West Suffolk hospital and the Norfolk and Norwich hospital, to have your baby please be aware that if you are looking for a local midwife (based at the Thetford Healthy Living Centre) then please choose West Suffolk hospital. If you decide to have your baby at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital, you will be cared for by midwives at that hospital only.
