Private Midwife London – Personalised Maternity Care with Empower Her Health

Pregnancy is one of the most transformative journeys a woman can experience. At Empower Her Health, we believe that every woman deserves personalised, attentive, and compassionate care throughout her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. Our Private Midwife Services in London are designed to offer continuous, one-to-one support, ensuring you feel confident, cared for, and empowered at every stage.

Choosing a private midwife means choosing a trusted companion to walk beside you — someone who knows your story, your preferences, and your vision for your birth experience. With us, you’re not just another patient — you are the priority.

What is a Private Midwife?

A private midwife is an experienced, registered midwifery professional who provides bespoke maternity care outside of the standard NHS services. When you hire a private midwife through Empower Her Health, you are guaranteed:

• Continuity of Care: You will be cared for by the same dedicated midwife throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal period.

• Personalised Attention: Your needs, concerns, and wishes are the focus of every appointment.

• Flexible, On-Call Support: Your midwife will be available for advice, guidance, and reassurance when you need it most — not just during scheduled visits.

• Home Visits: Comfortable consultations in the privacy of your home, removing the need to travel during late pregnancy or early motherhood.

• Emotional and Practical Support: From discussing your birth plan to holding your hand through labor, your midwife is your advocate, guide, and friend.

Our Private Midwife Services in London Include

1. Antenatal Care

Throughout your pregnancy, we offer comprehensive antenatal support, including:

• Regular check-ups to monitor your baby’s growth and development

• Blood pressure monitoring and urine testing

• Screening and diagnostic tests as needed

• Emotional wellbeing assessments

• Nutritional and lifestyle advice

• Preparing you for labor with breathing techniques, birth positions, and coping strategies

• Personalised birth planning sessions

Your private midwife will spend time getting to know you, offering longer appointment times (typically 45 minutes to an hour) so you never feel rushed.

2. Labour and Birth Support

When it’s time for your baby to arrive, your private midwife will be by your side, offering:

• In-person support during early labor at home

• Assistance with natural pain relief techniques

• Monitoring your labor progress safely and respectfully

• Emotional encouragement and advocacy throughout hospital or home births

• Collaboration with hospital teams if needed for a smooth transition

• Support in achieving your desired birth experience, whether that’s a home birth, hospital birth, or birth center delivery

3. Postnatal Care

Our private midwife services don’t end once your baby is born. Postnatal care includes:

• Physical health checks for mother and baby

• Emotional wellbeing support, including screening for postpartum depression

• Breastfeeding support and guidance

• Newborn care education (sleeping, feeding, settling techniques)

• Advice on postnatal recovery, nutrition, and pelvic floor health

• Ongoing support through the crucial “fourth trimester”

Benefits of Hiring a Private Midwife in London

Personalisation: You are seen as a whole person — not just a patient. Your care is tailored to your individual needs, preferences, and circumstances.

Continuity: Building a strong relationship with a single midwife builds trust and reduces anxiety, helping you feel empowered throughout your pregnancy.

Flexibility: Appointments can take place in the comfort of your own home and can be scheduled at times that work best for you.

Empowerment: With education, informed choice, and emotional support, you are empowered to make the best decisions for you and your baby.

Reduced Medical Intervention: Studies show that women who receive continuity of midwifery care are more likely to have spontaneous vaginal births and are less likely to need interventions such as epidurals, forceps, or C-sections.
