As the final weeks of your pregnancy near we aim to provide you with as much information as possible to allow you to make informed choices to ensure your birth, and postnatal period go as smoothly as possible. We will introduce you to our premium birthing pack and discuss what you should have available
in your hospital bag/home birthing kit.

We will help you choose which feeding methods you are going to use, including unbiased, supporting information for those choosing to breastfeed or bottle feed ensuring you are confident in the method you chose to use and know what to expect and how to do so safely. This will include discussions surrounding colostrum harvesting and introducing you to our colostrum kit which is available to you at an additional cost.

Our private midwife will perform a blood pressure check and urinalysis during your appointment. An abdominal palpation will be carried out to assess the size of your uterus and positioning of your baby and your midwife will listen to your baby’s heartbeat using a handheld fetal heartbeat doppler. If we feel you may benefit from an additional obstetric ultrasound scan during your appointment, such as our Bonding & Wellbeing ultrasound scan, we can organise this at a time that suits you (additional fees will apply).

You are welcome to bring your partner or friend alongside all of your midwife appointments for support.
