To book your pregnancy care you do NOT need to visit your GP for a referral
Please complete the online form below to book your antenatal care and birth with Darent Valley Hospital. After you submit this form a notice will appear on your screen confirming it has been submitted. You will also receive a copy of your completed form to the email address you have provided.
You will be contacted by phone by one of our midwives within two weeks. This may be a withheld telephone number. Please make sure the contact number you provide is correct. Following this phone contact, your maternity booking appointment will be sent to you via email, unless you choose not to use this option.
If you would prefer to receive your appointment via post this can be arranged.
We aim to provide you with the earliest available appointment in your area, ideally between 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy. You will be offered a scan appointment between 12 weeks to 13 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. This appointment will be organised by the scan department and sent to you in the post.

Please note that postal communication may delay you receiving appointments.
