Hi, I'm Bailey. And I'm so glad you found us.
If you're here, you're probably already feeling like the maternity system isn't quite built for someone like you. You want more than rushed appointments and strangers at your birth. You're in exactly the right place.
Midwife. Fellow mum. Your biggest advocate.
I started Your Private Midwife because I kept watching women leave birth feeling invisible, dismissed, or like something had been done to them rather than with them. That didn't sit right with me.
So I left the NHS, went independent, and built something different. A private midwifery practice in Yorkshire built entirely around the woman at the centre of it. Long appointments. Real conversations. Someone who actually answers the phone. A team who know your name before you've even walked through the door.
Over 15 years of clinical experience. Hundreds of families across Yorkshire, Manchester and the North. And one unwavering belief: you deserve to walk into motherhood feeling powerful, not traumatised.
This is what you get with YPM
Not a checklist. Not a policy. A relationship - from the moment you book to long after your baby arrives.
Bailey as your named midwife
Every appointment. Every question. Your birth. Bailey consistently throughout, supported by our wider team so you are never without someone who knows you.
Long, unhurried appointments
No 10-minute slots. No clipboard and eye-contact avoidance. As long as your appointment needs to be, in your own home, on your terms.
Your choices, protected
Home birth, hospital, VBAC, water birth, elective section - your decisions are honoured. Evidence first. Policy never. You stay the main character, always.
Direct phone access
Not a helpline. Not a callback. Bailey directly in your pocket when you need reassurance, validation, or just someone who genuinely gets it.
Two midwives at your birth
Bailey plus a second trusted YPM midwife on call from 37 weeks. Both know you, your story, and your plan long before the big day.
Postnatal care that actually cares
The fourth trimester matters too. 4-6 weeks of postnatal visits, feeding support, newborn checks, and someone to remind you that you are doing beautifully.
This is what the YPM family looks like
Every year we bring together the families who have been part of the YPM journey. Real people. Real birth stories. The community that keeps on growing.
This is not just a midwifery practice. It is a group of families across Yorkshire, Manchester and beyond who chose something different - and never looked back.
Watch and see what relationship-based care actually looks like in real life.

One of the things families tell us again and again is that choosing YPM felt like joining something. A group of women who refused to settle. Here is where that community lives.
The YPM Bump Club
A private community for YPM families. Real talk, behind-the-scenes insights, peer support, and connection with women walking the exact same path. You are not in this alone - and here you never will be.
