5 Questions to Ask Before You Choose Your Next Midwife
Choosing your next private midwife-especially after losing your previous provider-can feel daunting. These five questions will help you find someone who aligns with your vision, values, and expectations.
1. How Many Clients Do You Take On at Once?
This will give you an idea of how much time, attention, and availability you’ll get.
2. Will You Personally Attend My Birth?
Some providers rotate between team members. If continuity is important, ask directly.
3. What Birth Settings Do You Support?
If you’re planning a home birth, make sure your midwife is experienced and confident in that setting.
4. How Do You Handle Changes in the Care Plan?
Flexibility is key-especially if you want your wishes respected in unexpected situations.
5. What Postnatal Support Is Included?
Some packages end shortly after birth; others (like mine) offer ongoing, transformational support that extends well beyond the early weeks.
If you’re searching for a private midwife in Yorkshire or the North West, get in touch to see how I can help you create the care experience you deserve.
