Here’s How to Find a Private Midwife
in Yorkshire & the North West
It’s been a wave of uncertainty for so many families and midwives with the sad announcement that Private Midwives Ltd has closed it’s doors and is no longer providng care, with immediate effect.
At Your Private Midwife, Bailey & her team of collaborators, are working hard to provide you with choices to still birth in your own way.
"You’re the main character. I’m just here to back your vision"
Bailey 2025
If you’ve just heard the news that Private Midwives Ltd has closed, you might be feeling blindsided, frustrated, or even a little panicked. You’ve invested time and trust in a vision for your birth-and now the rug has been pulled out from under you.
I’m here to tell you: you still have options.
Bailey at Your Private Midwife specialises in premium, woman-led, relationship-based maternity care for families who refuse to settle for less and are looking for more. The clients I work with are women who want continuity, a little bit of luxury, and total confidence in their care team-whether at home or in hospital.
Your Bridge Back to Birth Confidence
I’ve created a YPM Access package to help families impacted by the Private Midwives Ltd closure. This is quick-access, high-touch support to keep your pregnancy and birth plans intact, even in a moment of upheaval, why? Because I’ve been right where you are, back in 2016 when Independent Midwives found themselves unable to care for families just like you, I’ve lived and breathed this feeling & I want you to feel seen and confident in your next move, not rushed or worried.
Here’s what it includes:
- Virtual Onboarding – We connect within 36 hours so you have a named midwife who knows your story.
- Emergency Birth Planning Session – A deep-dive strategy call to rebuild your birth plan and align your care pathway with your values, whether you want tp birth at home or in hospital.
- Gap-Bridging Antenatal/Postnatal Visits – Face-to-face or virtual, to keep your care continuous until you’re settled with your new provider.
- Postnatal Debrief & Doula Concierge Service – Emotional and clinical unpacking after birth, because processing the experience matters alongside one of our experienced doula’s to support you in your new normal post birth.
