My Independent Midwife is a private Maternity service supporting pregnant, birthing and postnatal families thought out the North West of England. Sarah and Jenny have over 30 years of combined Midwifery experience between them. They are experts in active, physiological labour and waterbirth. They are trained in hypnosis, and aromatherapy and are Calm Birth practitioners. They also have additional professional qualifications in Newborn Examination and Newborn Life Support.
While all chosen modes of birth are supported and celebrated by the My Independent Midwife team, both Sarah and Jenny are passionate advocates for vaginal birth after caesarean section – VBAC – having personally birthed 5 of their own children this way, and facilitated hundreds of VBACs in the home and hospital environment. Additionally, they support both complicated and uncomplicated individualised care plans for birth including breech, IVF, large for gestational age, advanced maternal age, raised BMI and pregnancy beyond 42 weeks gestation.
We provide fully insured packages of antenatal, birth and postnatal continuity of care, in the home or hospital. We can provide all of your maternity care, from one dedicated Midwife so that you receive comprehensive antenatal education, facilitating informed choice through the best available evidence.
