WHY CHOOSE BEAUTIFUL BEGINNINGS INDEPENDENT MIDWIFERY PRACTICE

The pregnancy and birth of your baby is undoubtedly a time of vast and intense emotions where it is of the utmost importance that you feel safe and confident with the care that both you and your baby are receiving. As an independent midwife, I am able to offer you the time and commitment that is necessary to establish a close and trusting relationship with you and your partner. This trust is vital in ensuring that you are making the right choices for yourself and your baby. I provide true women-centred care, with the focus on you having a pregnancy and birthing experience that is truly beautiful and empowering.

Each visit is an opportunity for us to build a trusting relationship, and for me to get to know your family and the values that are important to you. We are able to spend time discussing your hopes and fears, and any childbirth experiences you have had in the past.

There is no more need for long waits to be seen for you antenatal appointments. Whilst, medically I probably only need to see you about 6 times in your pregnancy, I choose to see you more frequently in order to truly get to know you. Care is provided in your own home, at a time and date convenient to you. Evening appointments are also possible if you would like your partner to be with you. Your antenatal appointments will be unhurried in order to cover all issues that arise at that particular juncture of pregnancy.

Once you have booked with me, I will be on call to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout your pregnancy. Another very reassuring fact about having an independent midwife is that when it comes time to have your baby, you do not need to worry that your midwife will leave you half way through your labour as her shift ends, only to have your care taken over by a midwife you have never met and have not established a relationship with.

Once you have give birth, I will continue to care for you and your baby and will remain on call for you for 28 days after the birth. This is to give you confidence in breastfeeding and life with your precious new baby.
even schedule a couple of the antenatal visits for the evening so that your partner could be there as well.
