Home Birth Package
From £8420
Full home birth care
From our very first booking appointment we will build a trusting relationship so that when you go into labour you can feel reassured that you're in safe hands with someone you know. We will have had plenty of time to get to know each other, I'll understand you and your family on a holistic level to provide the care that you decide is best for you. Continuity of care has been proven time and time again to result in improved birth outcomes and birth experiences, and I feel privileged to be able to provide you with this gold standard midwifery care.
Antenatally all your appointments will be in the comfort of your own home. I will offer you urinalysis, blood pressure monitoring, fetal growth and auscultation, fetal positioning and your emotional and physical wellbeing. Appointments are offered based on NMC guidance, at 8-10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 28, 31, 34, 36, then weekly until baby's birth. This is flexible to your needs and we can plan a bespoke schedule for you as required. See Antenatal Care for further details.
Antenatal care includes birth education and planning, and you will have my phone number to contact me as needed.
​
I will be on-call for your birth from 37 weeks. There will be a second midwife on-call for your birth who you will also meet and get to know prior to birth.
Insurance and midwifery equipment is included in the pricing.
If you require or request a transfer to hospital during the birth I will accompany you and act as a birth partner within the hospital setting for the duration of your birth for non-clinical support and advocacy.
​
Postnatally I will provide your care at home. See Postnatal Care for further details. Care will generally last about 4 weeks, up to 6 weeks if needed, and around 10 visits in total. Again, this can be tailored to your specific needs. I also provide breastfeeding support.
​
I can also make direct referrals or provide details for private practitioners such as a doula, postnatal doula, lactation consultant, osteopath, acupuncturist, pregnancy massage therapist, homeopath, physiotherapist and tongue tie specialist.
