Experienced Midwives, Working For You
ABOUT US
My Private Midwife is made up of qualified midwives who have years of experience in natural birthing, water birthing, instinctive birthing, and hypnobirthing. We continually focus on building strong relationships and act as advocates supporting your decisions.
We are registered Midwives with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). We maintain our skills and knowledge through regular training and development. My Private Midwife is fully insured to provide you with labour support in your home.
Why Choose an Independent Private Midwife?
Practising independently allows us to offer you the very best in one to one antenatal, labour, and postnatal care. We provide all our clients with a bespoke service personalised to you, from a tailored birth plan to nutritional advice and even breastfeeding support. We are on call 24 hours a day via our mobile and also set up a WhatsApp group support chat to include your birthing partner and both midwives.
Our friendly independent midwives offer a sensitive, nurturing maternity service to pregnant women and their families. Our service is individualised to meet your needs by offering unrushed antenatal and postnatal visits within the comfort of your own home. We want you to feel listened to, prepared and guided as much as possible during this period in your life that can often be a little overwhelming without the right support.
Supporting You Through Labour
THERE FOR YOU 24/7
During your labour, we aim to support you 24 hours a day from early labour assessments at home through to delivering your baby at home birth or being your advocate in the hospital. You will have two dedicated midwives ensuring that one of us will be with you on your big day, however, if it is your first baby or your labour is overnight you will have two of us to support you. We want you to not only have a safe birth but also to feel emotionally supported and confident going into parenthood.
We are there for you 24 hours a day, on call for your labour or to answer any questions you may have. We also want you to feel supported once you are back home with your new baby and so we offer an on-call service during the first six weeks after your baby is born, even after we have discharged you.

Our Values
Standard of Care
Regardless of whether you are having a one-off visit or our full maternity package, My Private Midwife will maintain the same excellent standard of care, providing you with attentiveness, compassion, and understanding.
Relationship Continuity
We believe that continuity of care is invaluable and an essential feature of healthcare. Expecting a new member of your family can be a stressful time as the unknown sometimes causes anxiety. We offer you on-going maternity care, so you can feel safe with the knowledge that you know and trust your midwives before your labour.
Personalised Service
No two pregnancies or labours will ever be the same. Therefore we tailor your pregnancy, labour and aftercare plans as well as our advice specifically to you. We do this by getting to know you, listening to you and any concerns you may have. We respect your choices and champion any decisions you make.
Knowledge and Expertise
My Private Midwife has midwives with over 20 years of experience delivering maternity care. We can provide you with expert support and advice throughout your pregnancy, which in turn will nurture your confidence to care for your baby and have a healthy, happy family.
Inclusivity
Regardless of where you come from, who you are or what your belief system is, we believe that everyone should be entitled to happy and healthy maternity care where they feel safe and cared for.

Pregnancy can be a stressful time for any mother, even if you have given birth before, and seeing different midwives and nurses each time you attend a maternity appointment can be quite disorientating. They may not necessarily have met you before, be familiar with your beliefs and history, or understand the particular setup of your home environment. An independent midwife provided by My Private Midwife can provide you with full peace of mind, by ensuring you see the same familiar face throughout your pregnancy. You won’t need to keep explaining the same things to different people, as a private midwife will have been with you since the start of the process, getting to know you and your family and being a calm and reassuring presence whenever you need her. This continuity of care can be a source of great comfort, giving you a friendly and professional face to talk to during your pregnancy. Our independent midwives are all fully qualified with years of experience in various birthing techniques such as water birthing, instinctive birthing or hypnobirthing. They will listen to your ideas, respect your beliefs and do all they can to accommodate the birthing environment of your choice, rather than pressuring you into the type of birth that works best for them. An independent midwife will become like an adopted member of your family, helping and supporting you from shortly after conception right through to the initial weeks of being a Mum. She will be available 24 hours a day, rather than limited just to usual hospital hours, and can come to you when you need her rather than you having to travel to her. If a hospital birth is required for any reason your private midwife will be your advocate, acting as an intermediary between you and the hospital staff and ensuring your care and comfort is their number one priority. With a private midwife you gain not just a safe pair of hands, but also an understanding friend, one who knows and appreciates all that you are going through and the difficulties you may be having. Take the stress and hassle out of pregnancy and contact My Private Midwife today to get the support and advice that you need during this important time.
