Your Pathway to a Private Birth in London
Your journey with our obstetrics team is structured to give you maximum clarity and support at every milestone:
1. Initial Consultation & Antenatal Care
Your care begins at our Marylebone clinic with an unhurried 45-minute assessment. Your consultant reviews your medical history, performs bedside ultrasound scans, and outlines a bespoke birth preferences plan tailored to your health profile.
2. Comprehensive Delivery Planning
As your due date approaches, you and your consultant will detail every aspect of your birth plan. Whether planning a low-intervention vaginal delivery or a private caesarean, we coordinate all hospital logistics, bed bookings, and specialist care teams seamlessly.
3. Delivery at Partner Private Birth Centres
When labour begins, your birth transitions to your chosen hospital facility. Your consultant obstetrician leads your delivery, supported by experienced private midwives and round-the-clock medical backup.
4. Postnatal & Newborn Recovery
Following delivery, you will receive individualised care in a private ensuite room, including lactation support, newborn paediatric checks, and a comprehensive 6-week postnatal health assessment.

Private Birth London FAQs
What delivery options are available with a private birth in London?
Our private obstetricians support all birth preferences, provided they are clinically safe for you and your baby. Options include spontaneous vaginal birth, water birth, assisted (instrumental) delivery, and planned elective or emergency C-sections. Your consultant will discuss all options in detail during your delivery planning appointments.
Can I transfer to a private birth centre in London later in my pregnancy?
Yes. While many patients join us early in their first trimester, you can transfer to Central Health London at any stage of pregnancy, including late in the second or third trimester. We will swiftly review your medical records, arrange a comprehensive assessment, and coordinate your private hospital admission.
What is the difference between an NHS birth and a private birth centre delivery?
A private birth guarantees complete continuity with your named consultant obstetrician, who manages your delivery rather than whoever is on shift. It also offers unhurried appointments, direct line communication, guaranteed private ensuite rooms, partner stay privileges, and access to dedicated specialists like lactation consultants.
How much does a private birth in London cost?
The total cost of a private birth combines your consultant obstetrician fee (which covers all antenatal visits, 24/7 cover, delivery, and postnatal visits) and the hospital's private maternity accommodation/theatre package. Central Health London provides clear, transparent fee guidance so you can plan with complete financial confidence.
What medical backup is available during a private delivery?
Patient and baby safety is our absolute priority. All deliveries led by Central Health London consultants take place within accredited hospital facilities featuring 24/7 consultant anaesthetists, resident medical officers, adult high-dependency facilities, and advanced Special Care Baby Units (SCBU) or Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU).
