Independent Midwifery is on the rise again in the UK, with full insurance cover for birth being updated in the summer of 2022.
Booking a private midwife brings so many benefits and for many the investment is well worth the price tag knowing the level of care you receive is not comparable to main stream offers.
Many independent Midwives charge anywhere between £2000-£8000 for care packages for carrying out their services.
For many, this care is holistic, family and relationship centred. Focusing on choice, person based and an innovative way of working. It is a service that is incomparable with traditional maternity models, and many families report that the investment they make was invaluable, some even stating that everyone should access this kind of care if they can afford the investment.
The cost to hire a private midwife covers not just the usual cares that you would expect from your NHS midwives. Independent Midwives include the use of equipment, gas & air, 2 experts at your birth, you pool use and copious amounts of time. They are fully ensure birth providers and experts in normal birth, helping you to truly navigate the physiology of birth and utilise time and tools to get the most out of your journey.
They also work with families who might be looking for added support in hospital and can offer packages of care to support this journey too. As well as working with many of those in the care for long term support postnatally, this unique service is a special investment that will help you feel confident in your pregnancy and beyond.
