antenatal - postnatal shared care

---

You might be planning a hospital birth but still feel like something about standard care doesn’t feel quite right.

Maybe you’ve noticed:

appointments feel brief or rushed  

there isn’t always space to ask deeper questions  

decisions are presented quickly without much time to process  

care can feel fragmented rather than continuous  

And yet, you value your experience.  

You want to feel informed, supported, and actively involved in your care.

There is a way to feel more held within the system.

The hospital system plays an important role in maternity care but it isn’t designed for continuity.  

It isn’t designed for long, personalised conversations.

And often, women are left navigating decisions without the time, space, or support to fully understand them. This is where midwifery support can change your experience.

Shared care means you continue your hospital-based antenatal care while also receiving private midwifery support alongside it.

I walk with you through your pregnancy and postpartum, offering continuity, relationship-based care, deeper conversations, and personalised guidance that complements the care you receive within the system.

Imagine:

having the time to ask every question without feeling rushed  

understanding your options before you’re asked to make decisions  

feeling confident navigating appointments, recommendations, and policies  

being fully supported in your postnatal care, rather than just having boxes ticked  

In this space, my role is to:

provide evidence-based information to support you in navigating your journey within the hospital system  

help you understand the difference between policy, preference, and evidence  

support you in making decisions that align with your values  

offer continuity in a system where care can feel fragmented  

I am not here to replace your hospital team but to ensure you feel informed, supported, and centred within it.

Your care includes:

Regular antenatal visits in the comfort of your own home  

Birth education and preparation  

Support to navigate appointments and recommendations  

Personalised guidance throughout pregnancy and postnatal care  

Postnatal visits focused on your recovery, feeding, and adjustment  

Ongoing support via phone and text  

This care may be right for you if you:

are planning a hospital birth but want more personalised support  

value midwifery knowledge and continuity of care  

want to feel confident and informed in your decisions  

are willing to invest in the quality of your care experience
