Antenatal & Postnatal Care

Antenatal care tailored to your needs

Pregnancy deserves care that feels personal, unrushed and deeply supportive.

 

My antenatal service offers a boutique style of midwifery — private appointments, continuity, and clear guidance tailored entirely to you.

During our sessions, we take time to explore your wellbeing, your birth preferences and any questions you may have.

 

I offer calm, evidence-based support with everything from screening results and birth planning to antenatal colostrum expressing and emotional preparation for the postnatal period.

 

Think of it as expert care with a softer touch — designed to help you feel informed, held and confident as you approach birth.

You’re warmly welcome to reach out for availability or to discuss how this care could support your pregnancy.

Supportive & inclusive postnatal care

The postnatal period is a crucial and tender time for your new family.

 

You are getting to know your baby whilst learning how to care for a tiny and demanding human, and at the same time your body is recovering from the rigors of late pregnancy and the birth.

 

You and your baby may also be learning the whole new skill of breastfeeding. To say there’s a lot going on is an understatement!

Our supportive and inclusive postnatal service includes:

  • Frequent appointments in the first week, usually 1-2 hours long, offering support with recovery, feeding, sleep, nappy changing, skin and cord care. Helping your baby’s transition to the world and your transition into parenthood get off to the best start.

  • Support for all feeding choices, including a personalised, regularly updated feeding plan if needed.

  • 24/7 availability via WhatsApp for all the questions that inevitably arise in the early days – no question is too small, too odd OR too minor to ask!

  • Comprehensive physical check-ups for both you and your baby based on a post-birth risk assessment.

  • Emotional, physical and psychological support as you find your feet, including a gentle birth debrief if you would like one.

Happy Parents

I was lucky to have Tess support me through all three of my pregnancies. She was always kind, professional and reassuring, and her expertise made me feel safe at every stage. During my third pregnancy, her attentiveness led to early action after birth, ensuring my baby received the care she needed and went on to thrive. I cannot recommend Tess highly enough — she is an exceptional midwife who will always hold a special place in our hearts.
