The midwifery-led MAU team provide individualised care for women attending with problems including raised blood pressure, reduced fetal movements, vaginal bleeding after 12 weeks of pregnancy, pain and any other concerns directed to MAU by the community midwife, GP or through ringing the maternity advice line.
Midwifery practitioners also undertake ultrasound scanning for women booked in by their community midwife for having a small fundal height (being suspected of being a small baby).
Women can also referred in the postnatal period with problems such as retained products of conception (RPOC), bladder problems and wound infections.
