Your Maternity app is changing
From 23 July 2026, My Pregnancy Notes (MPN) will no longer be used for your current pregnancy. Instead, you'll use MY CARE to access your maternity information.
Your maternity team, appointments, care plan and place of birth plans all stay the same. The only change is the online system used to view your maternity information.
Why are we making this change?
We are introducing a new electronic patient record across University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. This means your maternity information will be available through MY CARE, giving you more access to your records and improving how information is shared between healthcare professionals involved in your care.
What can I do in MY CARE?
-
View parts of your maternity record
-
See upcoming appointments
-
Receive messages from your maternity team
-
View letters and documents online
-
Access test results as soon as they are available
-
View your ultrasound scan images
You can access MY CARE securely from your phone, tablet or computer, 24 hours a day.
What happens to My Pregnancy Notes?
From 23 July 2026, your current pregnancy in My Pregnancy Notes will show as closed and will no longer receive updates. All information about your current pregnancy will be available in MY CARE.
Information from previous pregnancies will still be available in My Pregnancy Notes.
