Antenatal Care Service

Pregnancy is an exciting time of change and preparation, as you and your baby grow ready for the birth. Many women and couples find that sometimes standard antenatal care within the NHS does not give them the time or flexibility they might need. We can offer you a personal, attentive and convenient schedule of care to suit your personal needs.

Those first weeks at home with a new baby can be a daunting experience. We recognise that sometimes women and families require additional postnatal care if they have chosen not to have a dedicated midwife. We are really delighted to be able to offer an individualised postnatal care service.

• An antenatal appointment to plan your postnatal care
• 24 hour on-call for the first 7 days following birth
• 10 unhurried postnatal visits (includes bathing and baby care skills and focused care on you as new parents)
• Dedicated breastfeeding support

Breast feeding support

Isabella – born February 2008, exclusively breastfed for 6months and continued to breastfeed for her first year!

Breastfeeding is the best start you can give your baby; it is a skill that you and your baby learn together, and occasionally benefits from additional support to get you both on track.

We offer home visits on a one-off basis for women requiring additional support with breast-feeding concerns. This individual breast-feeding support is unhurried and mother-led. Telephone support is offered for a further 24-hours.

Our fee for an individual visit is £75
