If you are pregnant, and this has been confirmed by a positive pregnancy test, you can self refer to the Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust Maternity Services

Once you have self- referred the team at SHIP maternity will triage your referral based on the information you provide and the hospital will contact you to start your antenatal care. 

You do not have to see your GP first for this referral.  You will only need to contact your GP if you have concerns regarding your pregnancy.
