The Motherhood Practice

Private midwife services in London

These are the stories women bring us most.

Pregnancy phase

Antenatal care from someone who already knows your story.

  • Two hands intertwined, calm and steady

    Pregnancy after fertility treatment

    I've told this story so many times. I just want someone who already knows.

    After every appointment, every scan, every new consultant, you start again from the beginning. You shouldn't have to.

  • Mother and midwife sat together in a sunlit room

    New to the NHS

    I don't understand how the NHS works here. I just want someone I can call.

    If you've moved from a system where one clinician followed you through pregnancy, the UK can feel like letters with no person attached. You need a guide.

Birth phase

A familiar face beside you on the day, not a stranger.

  • Pregnant woman cradling her belly, soft light

    Second time, after a difficult first

    I can't go through that again without someone who actually knows what happened.

    A difficult birth doesn't leave when you do. This time, your midwife already knows what happened, and what cannot happen again.

  • Midwife and pregnant woman in quiet conversation at home

    First time, with eyes open

    I don't want to walk into hospital and meet the person who'll deliver my baby on the day.

    Everything you know about birth comes from other people's stories. Walking in informed, with the same face beside you, changes how you arrive.

Postpartum phase

Hands-on care through the weeks the NHS doesn't cover.

  • Mother and midwife smiling at a newborn

    Beyond the NHS ten-day check

    After day 10 the NHS goes quiet. Postpartum doesn't.

    The NHS discharges you at day 10, when most of the hardest things haven't happened yet. We cover the next six weeks.

  • Newborn resting peacefully on mother's chest

    Feeding that hurts

    I'm in pain every time she latches, and I don't know if that's normal.

    Latch, supply, pain. These are clinical questions that deserve a same-day clinical answer, not signposting.
