The first weeks can be full of love, questions and very little sleep. I come to you at home, with time to listen, care for you and your baby, and help you find your feet together.
Talk to me about support
You do not need to have it all worked out. Whether you have one question or a whole list, we can start with how you are feeling today.
So much preparation goes into birth. Once you are home, your recovery and wellbeing matter just as much. My visits can sit alongside your NHS maternity care, giving you a familiar person to turn to as you settle into family life.
There is no need to pack a bag or have the house ready. We can talk, look at how you and your baby are doing, and try practical things together at your own pace.

Time to talk about how you are feeling, with postnatal checks and support for your recovery, including wound checks where needed.
Newborn assessments, weight checks and newborn blood spot screening around day five, with space to talk through what you have noticed.
Help with breast or bottle feeding, winding, changing, bathing and settling. We can work through the things that feel unfamiliar together.
With a package of care, you can contact me by WhatsApp, email or telephone between visits. You do not have to save every question for our next appointment.
You might want help with one particular concern, or the reassurance of seeing the same midwife over time. We can talk about what would feel most helpful for you.
A single appointment gives us time to talk through your questions and care for you and your baby at home.
Six home visits in the first two weeks, helping you through recovery, feeding and getting to know your baby.
Continuing support as your needs change, with a familiar midwife alongside you through the first weeks.
The visitors have gone, the house is quiet, and suddenly you are finding your way together. If you would like an experienced midwife alongside you through the night, ask me about adding overnight support to your postnatal care package.
We can talk about feeding, your recovery, newborn care and helping your partner feel involved too. I will explain the current arrangements, availability and fee before you decide.
Ask about overnight supportThese NHS guides are useful places to turn when you want to read more about the first days and weeks.
You can get in touch during pregnancy to plan ahead, or once your baby is here. I visit families in Maidenhead and nearby Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. If you are a little further away, please ask.
