Traditional Package

The traditional care package follows the same structure as the comprehensive package, but starting between 20-24 weeks and finishing at 4 weeks postpartum.

This package still has extra appointments on the third trimester to allow for a relationship to build and for the extra time the birth preparation takes. Clinical appointments follow the NHS/NICE guidelines path and are around 2 hours long. They are a mixture of clinical, birth preparation, massage and general conversation.

Postnatal appointments are also up to 2 hours long with plenty of time for breastfeeding support, baby checks and learning about responsive parenting through baby carrying, co-sleeping, elimination communication and cloth nappies. Birth can happen at home or in 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 text anytime during working hours. Mileage included for 1 hour or 50 miles.
