Cossham Birth Centre

About This Clinic

Cossham Birth Centre is a midwife-led unit within Cossham Hospital, located on Lodge Road in Kingswood, Bristol (BS15 1LF). It is designed for women and birthing people with uncomplicated pregnancies who wish to experience a natural, home-like birth. The centre offers four en-suite birth rooms equipped with floor mats, cushions, birth balls, and private water pools to support water birthing and relaxation. Pain management options include aromatherapy, TENS, Entonox, and Pethidine, though epidural, induction, and assisted delivery are not provided on-site. While the centre is currently not accepting births due to ongoing maternity workforce challenges, community services such as antenatal clinics, postnatal care, and breastfeeding support remain available. Families have access to experienced midwives dedicated to a supportive and active birth approach. Emergency care is managed on-site until transfer to Southmead Hospital is required, with a midwife accompanying the patient. Parking and additional accessibility details are managed via Cossham Hospital’s facilities. For further information or to book appointments, callers can contact the centre directly at 0117 4145150.
