Private Midwife London – Personalised Maternity Care by Empower Her Health

Pregnancy is a profound and life-changing experience, and every woman deserves care that is not only safe and professional but also personal, continuous, and empowering. At Empower Her Health, we believe that one-to-one care with a trusted professional can significantly enhance a woman’s confidence, health, and wellbeing during pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Our Private Midwife services in London are designed to provide exactly that.

🌿 What is a Private Midwife?

A private midwife is a fully qualified, registered midwifery professional who offers maternity care outside the NHS system, providing personalised support tailored specifically to the needs of each individual woman. Unlike standard hospital-based maternity care where women may see different professionals at each appointment, a private midwife offers continuity of care — meaning you see the same midwife throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postnatal recovery.

This continuity builds trust and allows your midwife to understand your unique needs, medical history, emotional state, and personal preferences — creating a deeply connected, empowering experience.

🤰 Why Choose a Private Midwife in London?

Choosing a private midwife in London offers many advantages that go beyond routine pregnancy care. Whether you’re planning a natural home birth or a hospital delivery with minimal intervention, having a dedicated professional by your side can make all the difference.

✅ Benefits of Private Midwifery Care:

• Personalised Appointments: Longer sessions (often 45–60 minutes) allow time to ask questions, address concerns, and truly prepare for birth.

• Home Visits: Your midwife can visit you in the comfort of your home for both antenatal and postnatal check-ups.

• On-Call Availability: Your midwife is just a phone call away when you need reassurance or urgent guidance.

• Trusted Support During Labour: Whether at home or in a hospital setting, your midwife is there with you — providing emotional, physical, and practical support.

• Empowerment Through Education: You’ll be guided through birth planning, labour preparation, feeding advice, and newborn care.

🧡 Services Included in Our Private Midwifery Care

At Empower Her Health, our Private Midwife London service includes a complete package of care:

1. Antenatal Care

Your midwife will monitor both your physical and emotional wellbeing throughout your pregnancy. This includes:

• Routine checks (blood pressure, baby’s heartbeat, urine testing)

• Growth assessments

• Blood tests and referrals for scans

• Birth planning sessions

• Nutritional and lifestyle advice

• Early identification of any risks or concerns

These visits are relaxed and respectful — designed to empower you with information and confidence.

2. Birth Support

When labour begins, your midwife will be with you to provide:

• Comfort measures and natural pain relief techniques

• Encouragement and advocacy in your chosen birth setting

• Monitoring of you and your baby to ensure safety

• Skilled support for home or hospital births

• Calm, informed decision-making support if birth circumstances change

Whether you choose a home birth or hospital birth, your midwife is there to help you feel safe, respected, and in control.

3. Postnatal Care

After your baby is born, our care continues as you transition into motherhood. We offer:

• Physical checks for both mother and baby

• Breastfeeding and infant feeding support

• Recovery advice and emotional wellbeing check-ins

• Help with baby sleep, settling, and bonding

• Referrals to pelvic health and recovery specialists if needed

🏥 Can I Use a Private Midwife and Still Deliver in a Hospital?

Absolutely. Many women choose to work with a private midwife in combination with NHS services, especially if planning a hospital birth. Your private midwife can provide continuity during your antenatal and postnatal care while collaborating with hospital teams during delivery. This dual model offers the best of both worlds — personalised support with the safety of hospital backup.
