If you are considering an independent midwife for your pregnancy then please get in touch. If you'd like us to call you back please include your phone number. It would also help to know your due date and where you live.
An initial consultation can be arranged in your own home where you can explore the idea of an independent midwife for your birth. It takes approximately an hour and costs £50.00 which is deducted from the total cost of your care if you decide to book.
We are happy to travel up to an hour. We cover all of Hampshire and the bordering areas of our neighboring counties. See map of approximate area covered. If in any doubt give us a ring and tell us your whereabouts and we will do our very best to accommodate.
Antenatal Care
I provide approximately 10 unhurried antenatal visits in your own home. Usually lasting about an hour as we get to know and trust each other. Full information about benefits and risks of the many aspects of maternity care will be explored enabling you to make informed choices regarding your care.
I will arrange for any tests and screening if you require any. I have books, articles and videos/DVDs available to clients.
I have experience of home birth, water birth, vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) and breech birth amongst many other pregnancies and births. I have spent all of my midwifery career promoting normality and have attended hundreds of births without the need for medical intervention. I specialise particularly in working through previous traumatic birth experiences.
Postnatal Care
I provide daily visits at first, reducing them as less support is needed and the confidence of the parents grows. All clients receive a copy of all their pregnancy, birth and postnatal notes to keep after the final visit. I offer breastfeeding support to all clients as required.
