Contact Us

 

The antenatal package includes all of your antenatal care during pregnancy. All of your care is provided to your individual needs and preferences. You can expect your appointments to last between one to two hours but if you prefer them to be shorter or longer we are more than happy to accommodate to your personal preferences. All appointments are in your own home and on a day and time to suit you-including evenings and weekends.

 

Regular Antenatal Checks

Each appointment is themed to provide education and empowerment, without overwhelming you, and it will be tailored to your needs. Your independent midwife will conduct each session in a relaxed, unhurried, informal style that allows you to engage on your own terms. All birthing partners, or whoever you wish, can also be present for these appointments, as you are the lead decision-maker in your care.

  • The first booking appointment, carried out by your Independent Midwife, will include an exploration of any previous birthing experiences you may have had, as well as your initial preferences and your medical history.
  •  We are proud to now include Chiropractic alinement with Sally Scott at her Chorlton studio, to promote pelvic alignment and optimal fetal positioning.
  • All our clients have the option to receive an antenatal colostrum harvesting kit and harvesting support from Jenny our Lactation Consultant Midwife.

Safety Is Always Our Priority

We will support you with any complications that you may meet in pregnancy and facilitate informed decision-making, via a shared, multidisciplinary approach. We carry the same emergency equipment and medication that is used by all maternity homebirth services. We are highly skilled and trained to safely and effectively manage any obstetric emergency that may occur.

In order to do this, Jenny and Sarah work to the National Institute of Clinical Excellence – NICE – guidelines for gold standard clinical care. They are both NMC registered, and therefore adhere to the NMC code of conduct. They are also RCM and RCN union members. Aromatherapy services for pregnancy and birth are covered by Hiscock professional insurance.
