Support throughout each stage of your pregnancy
Vhi Midwife Support Service aims to provide education and support to Vhi members throughout your pregnancy journey. A dedicated midwife will guide you through each stage of your pregnancy with a series of consultations, in addition to the care provided by your General Practitioner and maternity care provider.
We are upgrading our patient systems in order to provide a better service to our members. This may cause some delays, so please bear with us as we get up to speed.
If your concern is an emergency, please attend your local Emergency Department or dial 999/112.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
