Antenatal support

I normally provide a couple of antenatal visits where we can chat about previous birth experiences (if applicable), your expectations, birth preferences, birth physiology, optimum foetal positions (OFP’s), exercises and anything else you would like to know more about.

During these visits, it would also be beneficial to meet your husband/partner (if you are having them attend the birth) as I am there to support them as well.

Postnatal support

I can assist and provide practical and emotional support with breastfeeding, light housework, accompany you to Doctor’s appointments, assist with shopping and help you learn to adapt to your new way of life as a mum! Finally, I am also more than happy to just be someone to talk to and help out wherever I can – even if it is making you a cup of tea or holding your precious new baby whilst you enjoy a well-deserved bubble bath!

I would also be honoured to support mums / parents who are in the process of or have already adopted a newborn baby.

Birth Package

Includes a couple of antenatal visits, on-call* 24hrs a day from 14 days before your due date until your baby arrives, the labour and birth and one postnatal visit.

Notes:
*I will be on call 24-hours from 14 days before your due date until your baby arrives and you can call me at any time of the day or night.
