Homebirth

Becky will support you throughout your labour and birth. A relationship of mutual trust is built up during the antenatal period when continuity of carer is provided and at Cambridge Midwives we continue this care through labour and birth, making this special time feel more personal and private. Such care further empowers parents, helping them to fully prepare for their new arrival. In addition, research has shown that women are more relaxed, need less pain relief and labour more efficiently when attended by a midwife whom they know.

At Cambridge Midwives, we support home birth, believing women feel more in control when in their own homes. Indeed, fathers often report feeling more involved following a home birth. We will also prepare your home for the births.
Here is an article written by one of our lovely clients about her recent home birth:

If a couple choose to have their baby within the hospital setting, NHS midwives will encourage them to stay at home for as long as they feel able. In this situation, Becky will support you while at home, then continue this support and act as your advocate within the hospital setting, either within the Midwifery Led unit or Obstetric Led Unit of your chosen NHS hospital. Likewise, if you opt for an elective Caesarean Becky can act as your advocate in the Delivery Unit or pre and post theatre.

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.
