As soon as you find out you are pregnant you have the option to book your maternity care directly with Lancashire Teaching Hospitals instead of seeing your GP. An on-line booking form and further information is available here
When you submit the form the booking team will arrange your first booking appointment and also notify your GP of your pregnancy. There is also a direct referral telephone line that women can use in office hours - 01772 524726.
Further NHS information on all aspects of pregnancy can be found on the NHS website
