By discussing the evidence, this article argues that the health and social care systems of the UK have been historically poor at supporting successful parenting for people with learning disabilities. It discusses the legislative and policy landscape in Scotland that should be changing this situation and considers the role of the midwife within this. It identifies the need for improved training and support for midwives and recognition of the time investment required to provide care for women with learning disabilities if they are avoid a loaded die against their successful parenting from the outset.
