One of the things people automatically assume is that they will have the birth of their child in their local hospital. However through the pregnancy depending on the risk levels i.e. high risk or low risk will actually determine the level and type of care you will receive. Shared Care is when the mother is looked after by the local GP and midwife. Depending on your pregnancy complications you may also have to see the obstetrical consultant at the local maternity ward. The other option is being looked after by a team of mid wives who cover your local residential area. They will normally run clinics at the GP practices or local clinics.
