Testimonials

‘Thank you for all your help and care throughout my pregnancy. In particular, your company and coaching for all of my many consultant appointments. You made me stay calm and feel much more in control. You said to choose your battles wisely and to collect all available information then make up your mind up. Hopefully advice I will continue to implement throughout my life. You were fundamental in us achieving the home water birth we had dreamed about. Without question if we hadn’t had the support from you and Siobhan throughout the whole process and particularly for the birth I don’t doubt we would have ended up in hospital very probably  having another c section. During the birth you kept me calm and made me feel in control whilst unobtrusively carrying out observations and gently encouraging me. It‘s a shame everyone doesn’t have a Sarah and Siobhan. Thank you.

Thank you does not capture how grateful I am for your support during my pregnancy. You have played such an imperative role in such an incredibly special time for us. Although my labour didn’t go to plan, you were there to guide me through tough decisions. From all the prenatal check ups, reassuring texts, to all the love and checks postpartum, I could not have felt more lucky to be under your care and have you in our … lives.
If we are blessed with Baby number 2 one day…I can’t wait to do it all over again with you by my side.

Thank you!

I struggled with a lot of anxiety during my pregnancy so I decided that I needed more support when the baby is here. From the first time I spoke to Sarah I found her so knowledgeable and understanding. She wanted me to feel as comfortable as possible during labour, so she gave me information on what exactly to expect and helped me with my birth plan.
We started seeing Sarah from day 3 of our little boy’s life. She helped us by answering all of our questions, and reassured us when we were felling overwhelmed. She made the first month as new parents much easier and more pleasant than it could have been because we knew we could always depend on her for advice. We will a be grateful to her.She is also incredibly cool and fun to be around, which is very helpful when your mood is down from all the sleepless nights!!

Sarah supported me through my anxiety

I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. She first supported us when I was pregnant with our first daughter in 2018. The information she provided meant we had a really good experience when I gave birth at the Rosie Birth Centre. She also provided us with postnatal support which go us off to a fantastic start with breastfeeding.
She supported us again with my son in 2021. With Sarah’s support and guidance we had a fantastic home birth experience and I’m so grateful to her for this.
I’m not pregnant with my third child due imminently and can’t thank Sarah enough for her reassurance and support. We are planning another home birth again.
Sarah is so knowledgeable, supportive and positive. She ensures you know and understand your rightd which gives you the confidence to successfully advocate for yourself. She is a lovely person and is so giving with her time and expertise. Thank you Sarah x

Something about Sarah

‘We feel extremely lucky to have had Sarah and Becky look after us on our transition to being new parents – we were blown away by the level of service and support we received, and the extent and responsiveness of their clinical, emotional, and practical care. Sarah offers superb midwifery care with regular check-ups and health education sessions for both mum and baby – and her extensive experience meant that we felt reassured that everything was going well and our and physical health was both being monitored closely and maximised by an expert who had really taken the time to understand us and got to know us and could give tailored advice.
Sarah and Becky also prepared us very well for birth with holistic education including the biological processes and how they might be experienced in practice, all aspects of pain relief, and practical techniques we could use during birth. All of the preparation, and having Becky with us for the birth itself, ensured it was a very positive and calm experience for all of us, and we couldn’t imagine a better way for our daughter to have entered the world.
The aspect of the care we received that was most transformational for us was the postnatal care, and the support on how to look after our baby. Sarah and Becky were on hand round the clock in the first month to guide us through getting started with breastfeeding, understanding baby behaviour, recovery from the birth, coping with sleep deprivation, and looking after our baby including how to bath her, wear her in a sling and baby first aid. Their support meant we were able to quickly gain confidence as parents. Knowing that nothing was too much trouble for them, and that all our concerns and questions would be addressed reduced our stress and ensured we could focus on bonding with our daughter. It was the best start and beyond what we could have ever hoped for.
We cannot thank Sarah and Becky enough for all they have done for us at this special but also challenging time in our lives, and we feel confident recommending them to anyone considering private care.’

Lovely comments for Sarah and Becky for their ante and postnatal care of C and H. 2021

There are no words to describe how grateful I am to Sarah, thanks to her knowledge, wisdom and experience my two children have had the best start in life. She guided me through two pregnancies and births and then supported my husband and I in the first weeks of their lives.

Sarah helped me to create positive birth plans and she gave me the confidence and the know how to use these plans while I was in hospital before, during and after the birth. During my second birth I could often hear her voice in my head guiding me and encouraging me to trust my instincts and do what was best for my baby and I. So it is thanks to Sarah that I had almost constant skin to skin with my babies for the first days and nights of their lives and I was able to successfully breastfeed both of my babies and not suffer any complications. I firmly believe that this is why they were both happy and healthy babies.

During my first pregnancy I was extremely anxious and Sarah has helped me to gradually overcome my fears and she has given me the tools that I needed to become a very happy and confident mother of two. I really don’t know what we would have done without her. C and C.

Thank you so much Sarah for all your help and support throughout everything. i could not have had such an amazing birth and brought R into the world so calmly and wonderfully if it wasn’t for all your help. Thank you for making this experience of having my first baby perfect. We will miss you lots – until we are back for the next one!

What a perfect duo you are..witty, adept, no problem too big or too small and happy always to be there…thank you both for the precious memories we all have now and for taking such wonderful care of us. Two truly admirable midwives…we look forward to next time!

Having Cambridge Midwives support me through my pregnancy was the best decision I made. Siobhan and Sarah made it plain sailing for us, no matter what difficulties my case involved. I felt supported, cared for and respected – the opposite of how I felt with my previous care options. The post birth support was invaluable. We wouldn’t be such a happy family without Cambridge Midwives.

E and J

Thank you so much for all your care and support throughout my pregnancy. You have both looked after us so well. Your help and advice has ensured the pregnancy went smoothly and our baby arrived safe and well. I feel very lucky that i have shared this experience with both of you. My recovery has been so much better than with all the other babies and I think this is largely due to your care.

Siobhan and Sarah, I am not really sure where to start…! when mum suggested I should have an independent midwife, I said I didn’t think I needed one as I didn’t want a fuss made. However talking through all the details it became apparent that this was actually a wonderful idea that we would have two people who knew the ropes to guide us through this adventure. When we met you. our decision was made immediately to take you on…I can truly say I am not quite sure what we would have done without you and no matter what i say I cannot thank you enough. …The support you both gave us throughout was incredible with your kick arse'(!!) attitude, mothering skills, stories, humour and practical advice have all made this a good experience…who know when the dust settles we will be calling you again!

D and L

Sarah and Siobhan, thank you for all the support you’ve given us over the last six months. Contacting Cambridge Midwives is one of the best decisions N and I have ever mad. You completely surpassed any expectations we had! Thank you as well for all your support during the labour. I am still not convinced that i would would have got through it all without you… Much love , K and N.

Giving birth with Siobhan and Sarah by my side is an experience I wish for every woman to have.
They are nurturing and warm yet highly knowledgeable and professional. The really special thing about them is their ability to deeply connect with the mothers they work with resulting in an open, safe and caring relationship where you know you are well looked after. You feel their genuine care and astute attention to every detail regarding your birth; you can totally relax at this sometimes stressful time knowing you are in safe hands. They believe in you and your ability to birth naturally, whilst knowing specialised tricks of the trade to smooth out any rough points such as natural induction tips and how to beat post-natal depression! I loved being tucked into bed by them with a cup of tea after birth and really appreciated the hectic times post birth when they would turn up with food!! I really could go on and would be happy to give more details to anyone interested. Their care is worth so much more than they charge and not comparable in any way to a birth with the NHS. I had a safe, simple and gentle homebirth and now have a relaxed, calm and beautiful baby girl. I’m forever grateful to them, not only for their care and expertise but also their genuine love xxx
