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.
