Welcome to our Maternity Service

As exciting as pregnancy is, there are many decisions to make and questions to answer. 

We have designed this website to help you and your family have the best possible experience of our service at this very special time.

There are opportunities throughout the site to meet some of the team and see videos and photos of the department. 

Why not start with a virtual tour of the maternity unit?

Key for virtual tour: Blue = Ward equipment, Red = Hospital information: WC’s, refreshments, maps, stairs & lifts, Pink = Resources, Yellow = Locations

As you explore the site further we very much hope that it will support the care being provided to you antenatally in both answering questions and familiarising you with the department. 

Nearly 3600 babies are delivered with us every year. We are incredibly proud of our service and absolutely committed to its continual development.

If you would like to contact me with any suggestions or feedback please email me at helenharling@nhs.net 

Kindest Regards,
Helen Harling 
Head of Midwifery

Your maternity app is changing: what you need to know

If you're currently using the My Pregnancy Notes app to access your maternity information, this will be changing from Thursday 23 July 2026. From that date, your maternity team will be moving to a new electronic patient record launching across University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, and you'll use our new MY CARE patient portal to access your maternity information instead of My Pregnancy Notes.

MY CARE is a secure patient portal that gives you access to parts of your maternity record, your upcoming appointments, messages and questionnaires from your care team, and information about your pregnancy and care plan. You can view your test results as soon as they're available, receive letters and messages digitally so they arrive instantly, and access everything securely from your phone, tablet or computer, wherever you are, any time of day. One of the key benefits of using MY CARE is that you will now be able to see your ultrasound scans (taken on or after the 23 July).

From Thursday 23 July, My Pregnancy Notes will no longer show updated maternity information and your current pregnancy will show as closed. Please don't worry , all the information about your current pregnancy will now be available on MY CARE . Your maternity team and your care plan stay exactly the same. The only things changing are the patient portal you use and the system your team works in behind the scenes. If you need to access information about your previous pregnancies you will still be able to view them in My Pregnancy Notes.

To set up your MY CARE account, please visit our dedicated MY CARE page.

If you have any questions about the change, your maternity team will be happy to help.
