Midwifery Care
Preparing for a Positive Birth Experience
Welcoming a baby into the world is one of the most transformative experience of your life. My role is to guide you through pregnancy and birth with clarity, calm, and confidence. I bring my knowledge and experience as a midwife for nearly 20 years into a supportive, educational setting. Together, we focus on maternal and fetal well-being, birth preparation, informed decision-making, and practical tools that empower you to navigate the maternity system with ease.
Each appointment is a chance not only to check in medically but also to answer your questions and support you emotionally. During your pregnancy visits, I will:
Monitoring blood pressure and heart rate
Checking urine for protein, glucose, and other markers
Screen for signs of complications (such as pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes)
Discuss nutrition, sleep, and emotional health
Review your preferences, questions, and concerns
Measure the growth of your baby by fundal height (tummy measurement)
Listen to your baby’s heartbeat
Check baby’s position as pregnancy progresses
Refer you for ultrasound scans or additional tests, if needed.
Every appointment is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and your individual needs. My aim is to give you reassurance, early detection of any concerns, and the confidence to make informed decisions about your care. As each session is personalised, we might explore your birth preferences, prepare questions for your healthcare team, or discuss evidence-based options available to you so you can make decisions with confidence. I place a strong emphasis on informed choice and evidence-based care, ensuring you feel supported, respected, and fully involved in your journey.
I also offer hypnobirthing techniques to help reduce fear and anxiety, giving you breathing, relaxation, and visualization techniques to feel grounded and in control during labour. I also share strategies from approaches like Spinning Babies®, which use gentle movements and positions to support optimal fetal positioning and make labour more comfortable.
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.
My aim is always the same: to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident in your ability to birth and parent in a way that feels right for you.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
