Planning a home birth? I can offer you a full and comprehensive home birth package that includes antenatal care and education, birth at  home and provide care and support for you and your baby postnatally for up to 4 weeks. With over 7 years of experience with home births you are in safe and caring hands with me. Continuity of care and carer has proven to support positive outcomes for mums and babies. Continuity is what I can offer you if you book care with me. If for whatever reason you end up birthing in hospital, I can be there with you as your advocate and support.

The home birth package includes all routine antenatal bloods with an extra full blood count at 34 weeks to check your iron levels, NIPT test and glucose tolerance (if needed). I can help you to arrange and book routine pregnancy scans and advise if further scans are indicated.

I will be on call for you from 37 weeks, ready for when your body and baby decide it is time. Use of a birthing pool and tens machine for labour, correspondence with your local NHS trust if needed, routine checks for baby, such as the newborn infant physical examination (NIPE) and the day 5 newborn blood spot test (NBBS).
