Your Empowering Experience Awaits
We understand that every birth journey is unique. While we can’t guarantee that everything will go exactly as planned, we are dedicated to helping you achieve a positive birth experience. Your vision is our vision!
In Your Home, On Your Schedule
We offer care in the comfort of your own home, allowing you to create the atmosphere and environment that feels right for you and your family. We take the time to get to know you and your loved ones, fostering a meaningful relationship built on trust and connection.
Your Priorities Matter
As independent practitioners, we have the freedom to shape our care around your needs. Your priorities are our priorities, and we’re here to understand what truly matters to you. Our approach is rooted in the latest evidence, even if that means stepping outside of traditional national guidelines or protocols.
Comprehensive Care from Pregnancy to Postnatal
We are with you every step of the way. From the moment you choose us until well after your little one arrives, we ensure continuity in your care. Your decisions are yours alone, and we are dedicated to helping you feel comfortable and confident in your choices.
- Home visits: You’ll receive in-person visits, ensuring you have all the support you need throughout your pregnancy and after your baby arrives.
- Ongoing Support: Our remote support can continue even IF YOU ARE FAR AWAY; ensuring you always have access to guidance and care.
- Advocacy: Whether it’s for hospital visits or appointments, we advocate for you, ensuring your voice is heard and your preferences are respected.
Creating a Safe Space for Healing
We recognise that birth experiences in your circle of friends can shape your feelings around childbirth. It’s important to remember that those stories are not your story. Your journey can be different. You can have people with you who support you in having a positive experience—independent midwives who believe in your strength and abilities.
Embracing the Beauty of Undisturbed BirthAt Rise Independent Midwives, we have witnessed the beauty of undisturbed births thousands of times, and we are committed to holding space for that to happen for you. We are not afraid of physiology; we trust in your body and your baby. We want you to approach birth with love and anticipation, ready to experience the magic.
Alignment with Our Values
Personalized Care
Birth at home allows us to provide truly individualised care tailored to your needs and preferences. We work closely with you to create a birth experience that reflects your values and desires.
Expertise in Physiology
As experts in birth physiology, we have a deep understanding of the normal progression of labour and birth. This expertise enables us to monitor and support you effectively throughout your labour at home.
Recognizing Complications
Our training and experience allow us to identify when situations deviate from the norm. We are skilled at detecting signs that may require additional medical attention, ensuring that we can provide the best possible care for you and your baby.
Early Intervention
If complications arise or if we determine that hospital care is needed, we are prepared to facilitate a smooth and timely transfer. Our priority is always the health and safety of both you and your baby. We coordinate closely with hospital teams to ensure that any necessary transitions are handled efficiently and with minimal stress for you.
