Birth Options Midwifery Team 3.09

A midwife is a trained medical professional who offers primary healthcare to women who are low risk of complications.

There is compelling evidence to support the fact that women in this category who use midwives as their lead caregivers will be far less likely to need an epidural or have an assisted birth (vacuum or forceps delivery) or C section.

The word midwife actually means "with woman". This description lies at the heart of who we are and how we work. We are accustomed to providing the support a mother needs on her journey through pregnancy, birth and adjustment to life with a new baby.
