Basic Package

The basic package is the budget option with care starting at 28 weeks until 2 weeks postnatal.

The basic care package is the option that, with minimal appointments, still allows for some time to prepare for birth and mimics the antenatal and postnatal care you receive on the NHS but with appointments still lasting 2 hours. There is still time for discussions around birth but this package is better suited for women that have had a baby before. It has added extras, Entonox, pool and TENS hire.

Care starts preferably at 28 weeks but it can be started up to 34 weeks if I have the availability to schedule the same number of appointments in a reduced time frame. Postnatal care is short, bare this in mind if you think you will need extra support with breastfeeding. This package requires care on the NHS up to 28 weeks. Labour care is included whether at home or the hospital but please note that I cannot offer direct clinical care a hospital setting but I can support you with decision making and coping strategies. I will be available for you by phone or text anytime during working hours. Mileage included up to 1 hour or 50 miles.

Basic package

Perfect if:

– You are on a budget but you still want an independent midwife.

– It is your second baby so you do not need much birth preparation, but there is time to go over your choices if the NHS is not supporting your home birth.

– You had a successful breastfeeding journey with a previous baby.

– You know you do not need pain relief in labour (or you have got your own) but it can always be added at a cost.

– You have your own slings and cloth nappies but you would like some extra advice.
