 Maternity  Care  & Support By Midwife Liselotte

Your own Midwife by your side:  how can this work out for you? 

​​​​​

What can I do for you?

Option 1:Work with me through my own company "Little Miracles":

 

If you are looking for home-based antenatal and/or postnatal care & support, this is for you! My services range from as little as a single appointment to an extensive customized package. (see some examples below)

​The antenatal & postnatal care and support that I provide to you through "Little Miracles" is purely supportive and educational it doesn't include any clinical / medical care.

 

Services I can provide through "Little Miracles":

*antenatal & postnatal home visits to see how you are getting on, answer any questions you may have, listen to any concerns you may have.

*antenatal education and birth preparation tailored to your own needs.

*accompany you in the hospital for labour & birth, in this case my role would be "doula support". All your clinical care will be provided by the hospital health care professionals.

 

*postnatal home care, lactation consultations, newborn baby consultations, baby weight checks.

*Midwife present for you when you get back home with your new baby (This could be as early as 6-8 hours after the birth if all is well with you and your baby), to help you settle in, mind your baby while you rest, help you look after your new baby.

*ongoing support over the phone or by email from the moment we meet till 3 months after the birth of your baby (For those choosing a package or course)

Option 2: Work with me through "Private Midwives Ireland":

If you are looking for independent midwifery care, including clinical labour and birth care & support, you can book me through "Private Midwives Ireland" (PMI). PMI provides and supports me to work as an independent Private Community Midwife. All Midwives working for PMI are fully covered  by professional & medical indemnity insurance, enabling them to legally provide home-based clinical midwifery care.

For more info see: www.privatemidwives.com or give me a call on 0876457489

If you chose to have a homebirth with me, your care package will usually start at 28 weeks. Regular antenatal visits will take place in the comfort of your own home, at a time convenient to you.  I will check you and your baby's wellbeing and co-operate with other specialized care providers if needed (example obstetrician, physiotherapist, scanning department...)  I also include plenty of time for all your questions, to listen to your concerns if present and include antenatal education. Together we work out your birth preferences, discuss and prepare all what's needed for a safe homebirth & homebirth environment. We also discuss when and what would happen in case hospital transfer may be required.  I will be on-call for your homebirth from 37weeks till the birth of your baby, followed by 4 postnatal home visits spread over the following 2 weeks. A second PMI Midwife will be on stand-by and she will be called in when you are in advanced labour to be present for the birth. 

If this model of care speaks to you, contact me for more information and book a free "Discovery Call" so I can explain to you in more detail about how I work, my terms & conditions in view of homebirth safety, when to start care with me and who to look after you prior to your homebirth package.

Option 3: "Best of both worlds"

What if you are not sure if homebirth is for you? But, you do like the aspect of continuity of care by the same Midwife who you can trust and rely on, build up a relationship of familiarity with, have your antenatal & postnatal care at home?

That's possible too, call me for more information to find out how to make this work.

Why pay an "on-call" fee?

 

Most babies don't come on a scheduled date and time, this means that I will need to keep myself available for your care 24/7 for those choosing the "full Moon" package, and for those choosing the "Baby Moon" package you can count on me from as soon you return home from the hospital.

The on-call fee also secures your booking with me and my availability to you. In order to prevent being needed in several families at the same time, I limit my client intake to a maximum of 2 clients / month for those choosing "Full Moon" or "Baby Moon" packages.
