Research has shown that having a home birth can be as safe as having a hospital birth and it can be a much more empowering and positive experience. However, with the current staff shortages in the NHS, a home birth is not guaranteed. I can speak from personal experience! What is more, women often are faced with negativity from their hospital when they want a home birth against their care provider’s recommendations. This is usually because guidelines fail to adapt to individual circumstances and they are not always updated with the latest evidence.
By hiring an independent midwife you can take control of your birth by carefully planning your environment, having access to the latest evidence and knowing that I will be there for you no matter what.
I offer my clients four different packages for a home birth. These are designed to cater to your own needs and budgets. However, as everyone is unique, please be aware that all my packages can be adapted to your exact circumstances. For hospital birth prices check each package individually.
