Maternity – Ward C23

General introduction

Ward C23 is an inpatient antenatal and postnatal maternity ward. If you need to remain in hospital for a period of time during your pregnancy or after the birth of your baby, you will be welcomed to and cared for on our Maternity Ward (C23). 

The ward has 21 beds consisting of three side rooms and three bays of six beds. 

Side room use is assessed based on clinical need and cannot be booked before arrival.  

Please note we wish to support every family's infant feeding choice, however if artificial feeding is preferred small starter pack formula bottles must be brought into the hospital as we cannot provide them on the ward.

Visiting times

Specific visiting arrangements are available on the ward allowing one birth partner to visit at any time to support their loved one and allow them to rest.

Please note there are no facilities for birth partners to sleep and they are encouraged to return home if sleep is required.

Building improvements – Maternity Services

We’re carrying out improvement works to replace flooring and windows in Croft Wing, Warrington Hospital from 23 February to the end of March.

All maternity services will continue throughout, and we’ll try to minimise any disruption for you and your baby. 
If you have any questions please talk to your midwife at your next appointment.

Please note: visiting to maternity and neonatal wards is limited to one birth partner (both parents) and two additional visitors, including children age 0 to 17. 

Any temporary diversions will be signposted. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
