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

​

If you are looking for home-based antenatal, early labour and/or postnatal care, this is for you! My care and support can range from as little as a single appointment to an extensive customized package.

The Irish maternity care system doesn't provide people with many options and there is very little continuity of care. What this means is that your antenatal and postnatal visits are usually very short and you will see lots of different midwives and/or obstetricians along the way. Your clinical care will be well looked after but there isn't much time for questions and very little opportunity to build a trustworthy relationship with your care provider. This is very unfortunate because these aspects are important in order to experience a positive birth and maternity journey.

So this is where I come in: your own private midwife, your "rock" to rely on whenever needed!

​

What can I do for you?

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

*ongoing support over the phone or by email when needed from the moment we meet till 3 months after the birth of your baby

*antenatal education and birth preparation tailored to your own needs

*accompany you at home during early labour

*be there for you when you get back home with your new baby (This could be as early as 2 hours after your birth if all is well with you and your baby)

*regular postnatal visits during the first 6 weeks after your baby is born

Note:

Any package that involve labour support include the costs of the fact that I will be "on call" for you from pregnancy week 38 to 42  for when you go into labour. 

Note:

  You will still need to sign up to a HSE maternity care provider of your choice (public, semi-public or private). There needs to be a record of you and your pregnancy in the hospital of your choice where you will birth your baby.
