Pregnancy care with or without a medical prescription
If your pregnancy requires home check-ups by a midwife, prescribed by your doctor, I come to your home upon appointment.
If you would rather have midwifery care than obstetric care and your pregnancy is healthy and straightforward please get in touch.
Home foetal and uterine activity monitoring (CTG)
Sometimes, some pregnancies require closer monitoring and your doctor may prescribe at home CTG (cardiotocograph) monitoring. This is done using a CTG monitor which records your baby's heart rate and uterine activity (contractions) over a 20-30 minute period. An appointment is then organized for a home visit.
Home postnatal care
At your home, the following day after you return home from your chosen hospital or birth centre. By appointment only.
Breastfeeding support
Breastfeeding support can be provided by midwives, children's nurses and/or IBCLCs (lactation consultants). My training at a UNICEF Baby Friendly accredited university gives me a varied toolkit to meet your needs.
