Labour and Birth Services

We offer 3 different labour and birth support packages. All ensure continuity of care throughout.  

Depending on the package you go for we can provide early labour assessments in your home and then be with you wherever you may choose to birth.

Hospital labour support

Provides you with advocacy and support during the birth of your baby. This offers you the opportunity to have continuity of carer during your hospital birth.

Whilst hospital midwives will come and go as their shift ends your Independent midwife will be constantly there to liaise with the midwife on shift, provide advice, advocacy, expertise, information, and emotional support. You IM will also champion any decision you make and respect your choices.

Home or Hospital 

Your IM is on call 24 hours a day for your labour and will visit you at home day or night for an early labour assessment. This helps encourage oxytocin (the labour hormone), increasing your chances of having a straightforward easier birth and the related benefits of home birth. Once you are in active labour you can decide to either transfer to the hospital, stay at home longer with monitoring, or have a home birth. You IM will always be prepared to support and lead you whatever you decide so you can make the choices that you feel are right for you as your labour progresses. 

Postnatal 

6 Postnatal visits over 4 weeks

Telephone support for 6 weeks after birth

Breastfeeding support

Care provided in your own home from the next day after birth

Home Birth

The UK government supports home births, as a woman’s choice to have the birth she wants. Evidence indicates that the health outcomes of home births are just as good or better than those of hospital births, and there is also a range of practical and emotional benefits. It has been found that women feel a greater sense of control over their birth at home and are more relaxed which in turn encourages a short, easier birth. Babies are also more appreciative of a relaxed and gentler environment.

 

Other benefits of home births include:

  • Increased maternal satisfaction

  • Decreased risk of postnatal depression

  • Reduced risk of caesarean section

  • Reduced risk of forceps delivery

  • Reduced risk of postpartum haemorrhage

  • Reduced risk of birth injuries​
