How to Transfer from Private Midwives Ltd to Another Private Midwife Without Losing Continuity
The closure of Private Midwives Ltd has left many women scrambling to secure alternative care-but transferring your maternity care doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch.
Continuity is still possible.
Step 1: Gather Your Records
Request a full copy of your maternity notes from your previous midwife or the organisation. Having your notes ready speeds up onboarding with a new provider.
Step 2: Clarify Your Priorities
What matters most to you?
- Having your midwife present at birth?
- Home birth availability?
- Antenatal relationship building?
- long term postnatal care?
Knowing your non-negotiables means you can filter quickly and find the right match.
Step 3: Move Fast
Independent midwives often have limited caseloads. When an organisation closes, those places fill quickly-especially for women close to their due date.
Step 4: Bridge the Gap
If you can’t secure a full package immediately, consider an alternative support option, like the YPM Collab Collective Doula’s who can support you at home or in hospital.
- Immediate booking.
- Emergency birth plan rebuilding.
- Interim antenatal or postnatal visits until you have full care secured.
