I have been a midwife for 25 years, yet I am still absolutely fascinated with pregnancy and birth! In my career, I have worked with thousands of women experiencing pregnancy and birth and I continue to learn something new every single day.
Having had two pregnancies of my own, resulting in three babies (yes, this did include one set of twins!), I know just how daunting pregnancy can be.
Pregnancy is often the first time in a woman’s life where she feels truly vulnerable. There is a wealth of information out there, and everyone seems to want to share their birth (horror) stories or tell you what happened to their friend’s, neighbour’s, second cousin when she had little Albert, Alfie…
Finding accurate and reliable information from an understandable and accessible source is a challenge. Asking questions and getting answers can also often be difficult.
Pregnancy and birth inevitably involves others, whether this be the baby’s father, or your mum, sister or friend so it is important to involve them to coach and prepare them for their vital role in your pregnancy and birth.
So here at yourpregnancyandbirth.co.uk, we offer reliable sources of information to support you during your own pregnancy and birth. We also offer a variety of personal services to help you in making decisions during pregnancy from creating your birth plan to planning your postnatal recovery period. Tailor-made, bespoke services are also available for those in need of more complex support. Our services extend to reflections on your experience of birth to help you move forwards into your life as a parent.
