Independent Midwifery Services
Independent Midwifery Packages
I offer three different packages of care – pregnancy only, postnatal only, and home birth. The costs are outlined in the Fees section of this website.
Call me to find out more.
Pregnancy
The pregnancy package is included in the birth package but can be booked separately. If you choose the pregnancy package, visits are carried out in your own home, without rush. We discuss anything you wish and I can draw on my years of experience as a midwife to help you make the right decisions for you. I can support you through the changes your body makes as you adapt to growing new life within your womb. I will share with you my knowledge of the physiology of childbirth and help you to create your birth plan. The pregnancy package can be accessed by anyone whether you are planning a home or hospital birth, and whether or not you plan to have a registered midwife at your birth.
Home Birth
This is the package to choose if you wish to have a home birth me as your independent midwife. If you choose this package, the pregnancy and postnatal packages are included (if wished). I will visit throughout your pregnancy for antenatal care on your terms – you have whatever checks and care you wish and absolutely everything is your choice. We can talk about your birth plans and get to know each other and develop a relationship of trust prior to birth. I will be on call for your home birth and not leave until you are tucked up in bed with tea and toast after the placenta is born. I will be on call for support as wished for feeding and anything else during the postnatal period for up to six weeks.
Postnatal
The postnatal package is included in the birth package but can be booked separately. Would you like visits to support you with feeding and caring for baby? To help you to integrate the huge experience of birth and optimise your health at this vulnerable, raw and beautiful time? With this package you can call me any time, day or night, for support with feeding or anything else.
