We provide truly personalised midwifery care in the comfort of your own home

Throughout your care, we will help you source unbiased information and will support you in the choices you make. We form an equal partnership with you, offering professional advice, friendly support and prompt referral to other health care specialist, if required. You tell us of your needs, desires and concerns and we will help you achieve your aims.

An initial consultation is advisable and can be done either over the telephone or for a small fee at your home.

Our care consists of the following...

Before the birth, we will:

• give advice and information on all aspects of pregnancy, birth and parenting .

• provide home-based antenatal care, enabling us to get to know each other.

• help you explore your options.

• arrange ultrasound scans and other tests if necessary.

• liaise with other professionals whom you want involved in your maternity care.

During labour:

• We care and support you during your labour and first hours of your baby's life.

• In the event of a transfer to hospital, we will stay with you, giving support and information and acting as your advocate.

After the birth:

• We visit regularly, by arrangement, for up to 6 weeks.

• We provide support and advice on feeding and all aspects of parenting.

We arrange or carry out the screening tests that you want for your baby.

• We fully believe in natural nurturing but will equally support you, if, for whatever reason suckling/breastfeeding is not right for you.
