All-in-one visits. We check vitals, listen to your baby, take bloods, and have time for real conversation. No rushing. No separate appointments. Just focused, personalised care.
Your partner is always included. From workshops to decision-making, we make space for you both to feel prepared and supported.
We reject judgment. We embrace choice, dignity, and deep listening.

Make the most of your time

With Kove, your entire appointment happens in just one hour, at home or in your office.
You’ll see a midwife who already knows you well - no repeating yourself with over 30 minutes for questions
Have your bloods taken on the spot. No travel. No waiting. No rushing.
Forgot to ask something? just text her on Whatsapp.

With the NHS, a single appointment can take 2 hours or more. You may travel across town, wait to be seen, and meet a midwife you’ve never met before (and may not see again). You might get just 5 minutes for questions, then wait again for a separate blood test.

Blood tests and scans

We work in collaboration with the NHS to ensure you receive the most comprehensive care possible, and no costly duplicates.

Early Labour

Your Kove midwife is on call and will visit you at home to assess how things are progressing. Their calm presence means you don’t have to guess when to leave for hospital: they help you stay comfortable at home as long as possible and avoid going in too early (or too late).

Active Labour

When labour intensifies, your midwife continues to support you whether you transfer to the hospital, head to a birth centre, or choose a home birth. They monitor you, provide reassurance, and help guide your decisions in real time.

Birth

Your midwife stays with you during the birth of your baby, offering continuity and reassurance in the moment that matters most.

Transfer to NHS / Private Hosptial

Wherever you give birth (hospital, birth centre, or at home) your midwife is by your side as a second birth partner. They advocate for your choices, help communicate with NHS staff, and ensure your preferences are respected.

Postbirth

After your baby is born, your midwife remains with you to help with feeding and make sure you feel confident and calm before stepping back to give you space as a new family.

Postnatal care

At a time when you shouldn’t have to think about anything, we help you create your newborn bubble. With frequent check-ups and quick referrals, all your needs are taken care of—so you can focus on bonding
