Complete Package
One dedicated midwife throughout your pregnancy journey
Reassurance and guidance whenever you need it
A complete package of midwifery care includes the following:
Consultation in person or virtually (this cost £100 and is included in the total cost should you choose to book in with me)
Approximately eight to ten home visits, becoming more frequent at the end of pregnancy. These visits usually last one to two hours and include holistic assessment of physical & emotional wellbeing, addressing any questions/concerns, birth planning, infant feeding preparation and much more
Continual information giving and sharing. I have lots of recommended reading and listening to support decision making. I regularly lend and share books and other resources
Option for me to attend obstetric appointments with you
On call for birth from 37 weeks until the birth of your baby
Myself and another independent midwife at your birth
Access to gas and air
One-to-one care during labour. We will usually stay after birth for approximately two to four hours, until you are settled in bed with your baby
Postnatal care and breastfeeding support. Frequent visits in the first week, reducing gradually according to clinical need, up to 28 days after birth. Approximately six to ten visits
Newborn Infant Physical Exam or ‘NIPE’
Day five newborn blood spot screening test
Whatsapp support throughout
I offer a couple of extras that some clients like including placenta prints and ‘Closing the Bones’ ceremony
Complete package £8000. Within London (M25) £8600
If you are entitled to NHS maternity care you can book in with your chosen hospital and have any recommended bloods, scans or obstetric appointments that you would like alongside the care I provide.
There is no discount for booking with me later in pregnancy, as you will receive the same care but in a smaller time frame.
I work in a number of ways depending on your preference and location. For some clients I provide all antenatal and postnatal care and call a second midwife to attend your birth. This midwife is a second pair of hands in case of an emergency or if birth is very lengthy and I need a short rest. I would recommend meeting this midwife at least once in pregnancy.
Alternatively, sometimes myself and one of my close independent midwife colleagues (you may have already enquired with them!) share your care, take all your visits in turns and both attend your birth. I work strictly with other independent midwives that share my philosophy of birth and love home birth as much as I do.
