Juno Midwives, Folkestone (2025)

We’ve heard birth plans being dismissed throughout our careers.

Belittled. Scoffed at. Pulled apart.
It’s boring and we haven't got time for it 🥱

🤷🏻‍♀️ Nothing makes more sense in our eyes than planning for one of, if not the most, transformative life experiences you’ll ever have.

Talking about what you want and don’t want, really thinking about what aspects of maternity care and support are meaningful to you for your situation.

🌊 Having these discussions before you’re in labour means you’re more likely to make choices that feel right for you, rather than being swept up in hospital protocols that may not be what you actually want.

✅ We can support you to write a birth plan that is entirely yours and significantly more useful than a checklist! You’ll feel confident and prepared going into your birth.

What if your pregnancy care felt less like tick box appointments and more like meaningful conversations?

❓There's no rushing with Juno and there's time for every single question you may have. Yes even that one.

Sitting in your living room, discussing all things to do with your pregnancy, but also learning about you and your family. That's what relationship based care looks like. And it's nothing short of delightful.

📈 Not to mention that continuity of care improves outcomes for women, birthing people and their babies (the research shows us time and time again).

Look at this little one, watching on and absorbing it all 🥹

Yesterday we left the seaside to spend the afternoon deep in breech refresher training in London with Shawn Walker of

🍑 Breech babies (bums or feet first rather than head down) only make up about 3-4% of births at term and experience of supporting vaginal breech birth is minimal for most midwives (independent or otherwise!)

But when you’re supporting someone through a breech birth, whether that’s a known breech or a surprise breech, having the knowledge fresh and your skills sharp makes all the difference.

It’s always super valuable to learn from Shawn, who has dedicated her career to improving and changing how vaginal breech birth is supported - often in the face of resistance! ✊

It was an afternoon of listening to interesting case studies, watching videos of breech births, understanding the signs that a baby may need help to be born and knowing when and how to act.

Stories were shared, we were able to reflect on our experiences and we all left feeling more confident about supporting vaginal breech birth. 🙌

We’re always learning in this work and we always want to ensure we’re offering the best, evidence-based care to the families who invite us on their journeys ✨

🧠 Here’s to keeping skills current and brains full! (And to excellent coffee with our independent pals )

🫶 We shared Tilly’s beautiful birth story a few weeks ago - you can read it in full over on the website.

She shared some poignant things about the care and support she had after her baby was born.

😕 Postnatal care in the UK has been referred to as the ‘Cinderella’ of maternity care - because to be quite honest, it’s poor and provides the bare minimum to new families. It’s very much the case that once your baby’s been born, it can feel like the healthcare service doesn’t really care about you.

We do things differently. Creating a space postpartum where you can reflect on your birth experience, be listened to, visited at your bedside, feel reassured that you’re healing well, be supported to breastfeed and more. It’s quiet, unhurried and so much more than just checklists and a top-to-toe assessment.

Have you got a postnatal support plan in place? If you don’t have family support nearby, have you considered asking friends or hiring a postnatal doula?

And if you want this type of support from your midwives after the birth of your baby - we’re taking bookings for birth care and beyond. Book your intro chat now. 🔗

This is why we do what we do 🫶

“I have no doubt that the support they gave us led to a more positive birth experience.”

When clients share that our care made a real difference, it reinforces what we know to be true: that providing knowledgable, compassionate support transforms birth experiences.

You deserve this level of care and support during your pregnancy (and beyond!) and its what we’re all about.

❤️ We’re so happy to share Becca’s birth story!

Becca planned a home birth after caesarean (HBAC) with us, but ultimately chose to have a planned caesarean birth.

It was a choice made on her terms, and a choice that took courage.

We’ve said it before…and we’ll say it again! There’s power in sharing birth stories, in doing things differently, making choices that are right for you and not for anyone else.

Becca kindly shared these gorgeous photos too, which are all the feels 🥹

🫶 Congratulations to Becca and her beautiful family - you were all a joy to support.

Wait, you DO want all of those things?!

Well, hi 👋 we’re your people.

We love supporting women, birthing people and their families on their pregnancy journeys.

We pride ourselves on offering really, bloomin’ excellent care. The kind of care you deserve.

Don’t just take our word for it, recently one of our clients had this to say:

“To others considering hiring Juno, do it! It was an investment but totally worth it, a woman’s birth experience matters too.”

⏰ As midwives, we are taught that placentas should be out within an hour of the birth of the baby. There can be an increased risk of postpartum haemorrhage (heavy bleeding after birth) where a placenta is truly retained and postpartum haemorrhage can be serious, or even fatal if not spotted or managed.

✨ But when you get to witness physiological birth at home, away from restrictive hospital policies, you see there are huge varieties in the length of time it takes to birth a placenta. And a placenta staying in for longer than an hour doesn’t always equal a problem.

🤔 But how do we tell the difference between what’s normal and what’s not? Well, we’ve got to know you really well during your pregnancy, so we can tell when you’re feeling okay and when you’re not quite yourself, we unobtrusively observe your blood loss after birth, we offer observations and to gently palpate your uterus to add to the picture of your overall wellbeing. We listen to what you’re saying. And if there is a problem, we act.

If all is well, we wait for you to tell us when you’re ready to birth your placenta - that might be because you feel the urge to push it out, or because you’re fed up of having it in there still!

🩸 None of these women experienced a postpartum haemorrhage. That doesn’t mean that a physiological placental birth is going to the right or safe choice for all women, but it’s helpful to see this variation in normal. And, what was key for all these women - in addition to having straightforward births - was that they had continuity of carer - a midwife they knew, who they had trusted, who they had a positive relationship with.

How long did your placenta take to be born? Tell us below!

🌀Feel like you’re going round in circles, repeating your story? Our continuity of care means one midwife who knows you, your story, and your wishes. From start to finish.

Consistent, personalised care isn’t a luxury in pregnancy, it changes outcomes (there’s research that backs this up!)

You’ll see the same midwife (but meet us both) throughout your pregnancy when you choose Juno. There’ll be no repeating yourself or hoping you meet someone kind on the day. You already know who you’re getting and you’ve built a meaningful relationship with them.

🤰🏻Ready to experience the difference true continuity makes on your pregnancy journey?

TWIN BIRTH WORKSHOP

👶🏽👶🏽 We are excited to announce that in the spring, we will be hosting a workshop on twin pregnancy and birth with Deborah Rhodes.

It’s for midwives, doulas and birth keepers who want to elevate their practice and support twin births with confidence and competence.

The medicalisation of childbirth means that midwifery knowledge and skills relating to twin birth has been lost. It’s time to reclaim that knowledge and keep those skills alive!

Debs has a deep passion for twin and breech birth and has received training by some of the birth world greats (think Mary Cronk, Michel Odent and Ina May Gaskin to name a few!) - she’ll be sharing what she’s learnt from both the experts and the many families she’s supported.

‼️ Understanding of physiological breech birth is essential for this workshop - whether that be through recent training, in-depth self taught knowledge or direct breech experience - as this workshop will contain a breech refresher only.

✨ Twin birth workshops don’t come around often and if you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and be able to truly support families expecting twins - this is it! Join us for an invaluable learning and sharing experience.

🐦‍⬛ EARLY BIRD TICKETS £200 🐦‍⬛
Limited number, available until 1st December.

Ticket price after this will be £250 💸
Payments can be split in two.

Ready to confidently support twin birth? Yeah you are!
