BIRTH DEBRIEF

Are you currently pregnant and want to go through the notes from your previous pregnancy to understand what happened to be able to plan this pregnancy? Or you have recently had a baby and would like a second opinion regarding the care you have received? Once you have requested the notes from your hospital you can book an appointment with me to go through them.

BIRTH CHOICES

Have you suddenly been told you are high risk and that you are not “allowed” to have a homebirth/“normal” birth, or have you been told you need to be induced and be subjected to a number of interventions? I can help! We can review the evidence available together and I can provide you with the studies that you can share with your care provider to help them understand your choices.
I will require a weeks notice before I see you to be able to gather specific evidence around your case.
