Antenatal Midwifery Care

Private Midwifery Care in Hackney and North East London

Private midwifery care offers a truly personalised, holistic and continuous approach during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. With dedicated one-to-one support, you receive care that is grounded in evidence, centred around your wellbeing, and shaped around your individual needs and preferences.

Continuity of care is linked with improved outcomes, reduced interventions and increased birth satisfaction. Most importantly, you benefit from time, connection and a trusted relationship with your midwife throughout your entire journey.

I have worked as a community midwife providing one-to-one support for more than a decade and understand the value myself having had three babies with community midwives. Having one person support you throughout is beneficial to all outcomes, especially if you want a home birth.

My private antenatal midwifery services are based in Hackney but I also cover areas in North and East London including Leyton, Leytonstone and Walthamstow as well as areas of Tower Hamlets and Haringey.


The Benefits of Private Midwifery

  • Continuity – one midwife who knows you, your history and your birth preferences
  • Holistic support – your emotional, physical and practical needs are considered together
  • Individualised care – appointments tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all model
  • Evidence-based guidance – information rooted in current research and best practice
  • Longer, unhurried appointments – space for questions, reassurance and personalised planning
  • Improved outcomes – continuity models are associated with fewer interventions and higher satisfaction
