Six years ago I started Walking With You , intending to provide a specialist private midwifery service for those facing additional concerns on their journey to becoming a family. I could never have predicted how busy I would be! Now it is time to review, rebalance and look to the future. I will be focusing on antenatal and postnatal care, for those with both straightforward or complex pregnancy. I will always aim to keep time available to respond quickly to those facing sudden unexpected news/concerns in pregnancy.

The birth of your baby is just the beginning! Many people say that they felt overwhelmed in the early days of parenting and NHS services in the early weeks are very limited. I am currently able to offer a reduced rate for my “early days” midwifery package for a couple of families whose babies are due in the next few weeks. Please get in touch if you want to know more. Single appointments are also available- sometimes at short notice, so please feel free to ask if you need support

If you have fertility treatment, it can feel very strange and lonely when you are discharged from the clinic which helped you become pregnant. I offer midwifery care and support from the very earliest days of pregnancy - walking with you - whatever that journey brings. I understand the challenge of balancing optimism with realism when your path to parenting has been tough. I understand the complex emotions. I am here for you.

Sometimes pregnancy is hard. Sometimes it is frightening. Sometimes serious and life changing decisions have to be faced. As a private midwife with a special interest in complex pregnancy I am able to spend time with my clients and to spend lots of time thinking about them and considering how I can help them most effectively. Continuity of care can make a huge impact in coping with challenges. In cases of need I will always seek to offer reduced cost options so that people who would really benefit can access it. Please reach out if this is you - or share the info with those around you

Trauma from pregnancy or birth makes many people avoid another pregnancy. I offer trauma informed care - to debrief, understand and process the experience and then to walk with you through a future pregnancy, birth and early days. It is an absolute privilege and joy to watch the transformation in a woman and her family. This is true midwifery.

What should we feed children? What is “healthy”?

ICYMI

🗞️Fabulous (if depressing) feature on baby snacks, pouches and so-called growing up milks by in Saturday's

📗📘📙Draws on 🍐 reports on baby foods, ultra-proceesed foods & growing up/toddler milks and drinks (links in bio)

‘Manufacturers have done a spectacular job of convincing many parents that feeding a baby with highly processed pouches, powders and crisp-like snacks is not just the convenient option but the healthier and better one. Does your baby refuse greens? A pouch will provide all the veg they require. Worried about your child choking? Give them a “melty” snack’



❓🤑The million dollar question: ‘How bad do things have to get in the baby food aisle before the government finally decides to protect infants – and parents – from this flood of oversweetened and highly processed food and drinks?’

If you have had NIPT funded by the NHS please consider getting involved with this.

Because “midwife “ is a protected title I am bound by the same registration requirements as all NHS midwives. Many people (including some NHS colleagues) don’t realise this. When you choose a private midwife you get a fully qualified, up to date, insured professional who has time and energy for you and your individual situation. In the 5+ years that I have worked outside the NHS I have learned so much that I never had time to even think about before! Working as part of the Private Midwives family gives me personal and professional support, excellent professional updating opportunities and clinical governance oversight of my work.

This is part of a very moving review from a client whose birth suddenly became very complicated. She writes that “knowing that Angie would keep me and my baby safe, she helped me through what suddenly turned into a very difficult and dangerous birth”. When I identified that things had suddenly changed from the very normal birth we were expecting, she trusted me implicitly. That trust was crucial in achieving a safe birth of her beautiful baby.
