Questions

Good to know.

More answers on our FAQ page, or message us on WhatsApp.

Does Ayara replace my NHS maternity care?

No. Ayara works alongside your NHS care. Keep going to your booking appointment, scans and midwife or GP appointments. We help you understand them, prepare questions and feel supported in between.

What if it’s an emergency?

Ayara is not an emergency service. If you think you or your baby are in danger, call 999. If you’re pregnant and worried about bleeding, pain, fluid leaking or a change in your baby’s movements, contact your maternity unit straight away, day or night. Don’t wait for a reply from us. If you feel unable to keep yourself safe, call 999, or in England call NHS 111 and choose the mental health option.

Can my partner join calls?

Of course. Partners are welcome on video calls and can message the team with you.
