the midwives clinic

Home visits in pregnancy: One-to-one home consultations with a midwife are available at any point in your pregnancy. Appointments last a generous 60 minutes, so you can get to know your midwife and she can take a thorough history. Your partner is very welcome to attend. Antenatal visits include:

  • Physical check-ups for you and your baby
  • Healthy lifestyle education tailored to you
  • Specific information for your stage of pregnancy
  • Explore your options: place of birth and choice of carers
  • Screening and diagnostic tests as needed
  • Discussion of your questions with a caring professional

Home visits after the birth: For new mums and dads who would like more time with their midwife to learn about caring for their new baby and themselves, we offer 60 minute postnatal visits. You needn’t have seen us in pregnancy to access our postnatal care. It includes:

  • Help with breastfeeding
  • Skills needed to care for your newborn
  • Talk through your birth with an understanding midwife
  • Healthy lifestyle education tailored to your type of birth
  • Full postnatal health checks for mum and baby
  • Learn how to access further support in your local community
