Lucina Birth Centre


The Lucina Birth Centre will provide a welcoming, relaxed and supportive environment for our mothers and their families. The environment will support birth as a natural physiological process that will be aided by the expertise of the midwife as the lead professional for normal birth. We will work in partnership with mothers and their families to empower their choices, ensuring a safe and positive birth experience which facilitates the transition to parenthood.


All women during their pregnancy should receive information regarding place of birth and that at UHCW there are three options:


Home Birth


Lucina Birth Centre (MLU) Labour Ward


The information provided should be based on the woman’s individual circumstances and risk factors. Both MLU and home birth are suitable for women who are under midwifery led care and therefore have no medical or obstetric risk factors.


For more information please speak to your midwife. Small Steps 2
