Independent midwives have many reasons for choosing to be self -employed. Most feel that this is the only way to truly provide woman-centred care.

Why choose an independent midwife?

As independent midwives we can offer you one to one care. Antenatal visits will be in the comfort of your own home, they are unhurried and as much emphasis is put upon developing a relationship over a cup of tea as is put upon doing blood pressure and testing urine. We can spend time researching the questions you ask in order for you to be sure that the decisions you make are the right ones for you and your baby.

When the time comes to have your baby in the place of your choice you can be sure we will not be leaving you half way through. After you have had your baby the support continues for four weeks with as many visits as required. Again the visits will be unhurried as this is often the time when support is crucial to the on going relationship between you, your baby and the rest of your family.

This is an event that you will remember very clearly all of your life...ask your mother! Make sure it is special by knowing every choice that is available to you from beginning to new beginning. One of those choices is booking an independent midwife.

If booking an independent midwife is an option you are considering, first you must find one in your area. The 'Independent Midwives Association' can help - you will find them on www.independentmidwives.org.uk
