Frequently asked questions
What does a midwife do?
A midwife is a trained healthcare professional who provides care during pregnancy, birth, and after your baby arrives. I monitor both your health and your baby’s wellbeing, offer emotional support, and help you make informed choices about your care. My role is to guide and support you, while also ensuring safety for both you and your baby.
How is midwifery care different from seeing a doctor?
Midwifery care is centered on you as a whole person, not just your pregnancy. While doctors often focus on diagnosing and treating medical conditions, midwives provide ongoing support that combines medical monitoring with emotional, practical, and educational care.
I want to have my baby in the hospital. Can I still see you?
Yes, absolutely. Choosing midwifery care doesn’t mean you have to give birth at home. I help you prepare, advocate for your wishes, and provide care during pregnancy and afterwards, wherever you choose to give birth.
*You may choose to have one, or several, visits with me.
What kind of postnatal care do you provide?
Support doesn’t end with birth. I also offer postnatal guidance, helping you adjust to life with your new baby. This can include debriefing your birth experience, supporting your recovery, providing support with feeding issues and helping you find your rhythm in those early weeks.
What is tongue tie in babies?
Tongue tie is when the tissue under a baby’s tongue is too tight, limiting movement and sometimes affecting feeding.
How common is tongue tie?
It occurs in about 4–11% of newborns.
How can tongue tie affect breastfeeding?
It can cause poor latch, nipple pain, low milk transfer, and slow weight gain for the baby.
Can tongue tie affect the mother too?
Yes, it may lead to sore nipples, blocked ducts, or reduced milk supply due to inefficient feeding.
How is tongue tie treated?
A simple procedure called a frenotomy—snipping the tight tissue—can quickly improve tongue movement and feeding.
