A typical appointment with an independent midwife

In your home, on your terms

  • True continuity, with care that’s personal. You’re supported by the same trusted midwife throughout, who has the time and space to offer deeply personalised, holistic care.

  • Hour long appointments at your home or office. No travel, no waiting rooms, no need for childcare. Just care, where and when it suits you.

  • Medical care with empathy. Checks for 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 welcome. From workshops to decision-making, we make space for you both to feel prepared and supported.

  • Rejecting judgment. Independent midwives embrace choice, dignity, and deep listening.

Antenatal or postnatal care

In your home, on your terms

Full antenatal care
Independent midwives can provide home visits in the comfort of your own home (apart from scans, which can be done privately or via the NHS). You can attend a few core NHS appointments, with the rest of your care at home. This includes birth preparation, hypnobirthing, and more, ensuring you feel fully informed and confident heading into birth.

Full postnatal care
Home visits with your new baby, breastfeeding and feeding support when you need it, guidance as you adjust to your new normal, and recommendations to specialists if required.
