Your questions, answered honestly.

We're London's first private midwifery service designed to sit alongside the NHS. Every client is paired with one midwife who supports them through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal weeks, at home, on their own terms.

All our midwives are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, members of the Royal College of Midwives, with at least five years of NHS experience across diverse birth settings. Meet them on our team page.

No. Around half of our clients are second- or third-time parents who want a different experience this time, or want hands-on postpartum support they didn't have before.

Start with a free 20-minute chat with Clarissa, our co-founder. There's no commitment and no pressure. Many people use it just to ask the questions they couldn't get answered elsewhere. Book on our contact page.

Pregnancy packages start at £1,500. Birth support starts at £3,500. Postpartum is £1,700. We're also happy to combine packages. Bundling pregnancy, birth and postpartum brings the total down.

Yes. We can split your package into instalments across the months leading up to your due date. We talk through it on the free call.

Yes, and most of our clients do. The same midwife from your first scan through to six weeks postpartum is when this care is at its best.

We refund the unused portion of any package, minus a small admin fee. Full terms are in your service agreement, which we walk you through before you sign.

No, never. We're complementary, not a replacement. You keep your NHS midwife, scans, blood tests, consultant appointments and your hospital booking. We add a layer of continuity, time, and home support around your NHS care.

Yes. We always disclose our involvement and share relevant clinical observations with your NHS team. We work openly alongside them, the only way it works safely.

No. Once you're admitted to the labour ward, the hospital midwives lead the clinical care of your labour. We stay with you continuously, support you through it, and advocate for your wishes. The NHS team is responsible for the delivery itself.

All of Greater London, all 33 boroughs. Get in touch and we'll confirm we cover your postcode. There's no extra travel fee within London.

Not at the moment. We're a London-only service so we can keep visit times short, response times fast, and on-call coverage realistic.

At your home. We bring all our equipment with us: sphygmomanometer, sonicaid (foetal heart Doppler), urinalysis, scales.

Our birth support package goes on-call from 38 weeks. If you book earlier and go into labour before 38 weeks, your midwife will still come. Pre-term care is a hospital-led decision, but you won't be calling a stranger.

Yes, with full professional indemnity insurance covering the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care we provide. Documentation available on request.

Yes. Many of our clients have additional medical needs (gestational diabetes, previous loss, IVF pregnancies, advanced maternal age). We work closely with your NHS consultant and never make decisions outside our scope.

Yes, fully. Our care is for every family. We work with single parents, same-sex couples, IVF and surrogacy journeys, and adoption preparation. Tell us about your situation on the free call so we can tailor the package.

We can carry out clinical observations and recommend, but as private midwives we don't prescribe. If you need a prescription we'll loop in your GP or NHS team, quickly and clearly.
