I will be your Named Lead Midwife responsible for carrying out all the necessary clinical observations and checks, to ensure the health and wellbeing of both you and your developing baby. This will be for the duration of your pregnancy until you go into labour. Antenatal consultations will be within the privacy of your own home at a time suitable for you. A personalised Midwifery service provision for your pregnancy, reponsive to your needs and any concerns you may have. Appointments are up to an hour and a half, giving you additional time to discuss issues, or simply have a chat to support you through decisions concerning your pregnancy management and birth. |
I will also be on call for you on a 24/7 basis from 37 completed weeks of pregnancy until you go into established labour and your care is safely transferred to your chosen Care provider eg Midwife/ Obstetrician . This is to ensure you attend your chosen place of birth when you need to and avoid unnecessary trips.
The antenatal care bundle includes Birth preparation, early parenting and debriefing of a previous birth experience if required. For Birth preparation, you can either choose to attend the With Mother and Child Active birth and Early Parenting Course free of charge or have this privately in your own home.
The appointment schedule offered to you through out your pregnancy would a minimum of monthly consultations up to 26 weeks of pregnancy. Then every two weeks from 26 weeks of pregnancy until 36 weeks. After 36 weeks, weekly consultations until you go into labour. If you are having shared care with an obstetrician, I can by allmeans work our appointments round this and also accompany you to hospital appointments if you wish. I am also contactable by phone, email inbetween visits during normal working hours. From 37 weeks I will be on call for you and therefore contactable 24/7.
It is important to remember that if you are entitled to NHS care you can have scans and tests free of charge. Private pregnancy screening, blood tests and scans can be arranged for an additional charge. It is recommended you book in with an NHS hospital of your choosing for maternity care and explain to them that you have arranged your own midwifery care for your pregnancy. I will provide you with the necessary documents to support you. It is important that a transparent positive working relationship is quickly established between all health care professionals involved in your maternity care.
