My pregnancy and birth package consist of three visits before the baby is born,
the birth itself and one postnatal visit during the first week.
- First antenatal visit at around 27 weeks -
This visit is mainly for us to get to know each other. I will answer any questions that you have about your labour and your baby’s birth, and we will start to think about your birth preferences. I can give you information on baby feeding, safe sleeping, etc. I can also help you decide what equipment you will need, because the choice can be very overwhelming. If you are interested in any other services such as Pregnancy Yoga or Hypnobirthing I can put you in touch with people in your local area who offer classes.
- Second antenatal visit at around 32 weeks -
This visit is purely about car seat safety. From my 12 years’ experience in the world of car seats I know how overlooked, yet vitally important this is. The vast majority of car seats are not used correctly, which puts babies’ and children’s lives at risk, yet car seat safety is rarely mentioned during antenatal care. I will make sure that you know everything you need to know to get it right.

- Third antenatal visit at around 37 weeks -
During this visit we will discuss your birth preferences and make sure that we are both clear about what they are. I will support you with anything you need to know about the birth, can help you pack your hospital bag and help you get ready for your baby’s imminent arrival.
- Labour and the birth of your baby -
After the third visit I will be on call 24/7 until you have your baby. You can call me anytime, day or night when you go into labour and I will come over when you need me to. I will then stay with you while you give birth at home, or I will accompany you to the hospital and be with you while your baby is born. I will stay with you for an hour or two and leave once you’re happy and settled.
- Postnatal visit -
When your baby is about five days old I will come to visit you and your family to see how you are getting on. You may have questions about feeding, bathing, sleeping, etc. In my experience it’s also very important for women to tell their birth stories, and as I was there we can talk through the birth together.
- Continuous support -
During this entire period and until your baby is six weeks old, you can contact me whenever you need help or support.
