New Generation...

Independent Midwives are fully qualified midwives who, in order to practice the midwife's role
to its fullest extent, have chosen to work outside the NHS in a self employed capacity. The
midwife's role encompasses the care of women during pregnancy, birth and afterwards.
Independent Midwives are especially keen to assist women in making informed decisions about
their overall birth experience.

Obviously there are certain situations that are out of a midwives jurisdiction
and therefore a home birth will not be suitable.  In these cases you will be
referred to the hospital.

Things you will need to Consider:

• Pain Relief (eg epidural)
  
• Premature  
  
• Post Mature (Induction)
  

These are some of the Benefits:

		Give birth in the comfort of your own home.
		Support of your spouse and family at all times.
		No noise from other women in labour.
		More relaxed in your own environment.
		All the attention is on you and your baby.
