Pregnancy & Birth Support
Having consistent support from someone known and experienced throughout your pregnancy and labor can make all the difference to how it unfolds and to how you feel about the experience afterwards.
Pregnancy & Birth Support
Everyone involved in your experience plays a different role, as such I never take the place of your partner or other members in your support team, but work alongside them – drawing close for support and stepping back to allow space when appropriate. I will offer ideas and guidance as we have discussed together in our prenatal sessions; I will listen to you and work hard to help you feel safe and respected throughout; I will remind you of your intentions; help you to ask questions; and fully support any decisions you make along the way. I am also there to encourage and support your partner so they can continue to support you well. Once your baby is in your arms, I will remain with you for a couple of hours to help support initial skin to skin time and your baby’s first feed, and to make sure that you are feeling comfortable and ready to settle in together as a new family.
