Let us welcome you to our Birth Centre at Neath Port Talbot Hospital.
We have six rooms plus a birthing pool. We're open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Midwives are on hand in our home-from-home unit to guide and support you through labour and birth.
Our experience tells us that families benefit from time together, so we encourage partners to stay in one of our double rooms.
Just a quarter of first-time mums and 8% of women who have birthed before are likely to need transferring to Singleton Hospital around the time of birth.
The majority of women that are transferred are for non-urgent, non life-threatening reasons. Transfer time is around one hour.
