Originally from the US, I am new to the NHS healthcare system and wanted an extra bit of security knowing I would have continuity in care with certified, experienced midwives.
Neighbourhood Midwives played the most significant role you can imagine in my birth story. I wasn’t planning on a home birth, but when Leonie came to the house to assess me I had moved through the first stage of labour much more quickly than anticipated and was fully dilated. Leonie made the call to stay home, and I must say I was relieved. I instinctively knew that things had moved quickly, and I was more comfortable being at home. Leonie brought in Tess to support, and they were both supported / shadowed by Ellie (a student midwife).

I grew up hearing stories of my birth at home, in the depths of Battersea, with the local community midwife caring for my mum and arriving on her bike at 2 in the morning. It was Mum’s 42nd week of pregnancy, I was a castor oil baby. Call the midwife indeed.
A lovely birth story, baby Caspar born in the living room whilst his big sister slept along the corridor. For those who read my post about being an on call midwife, this birth got a little mention! Michala Marling.
We found out we were expecting twins, our third and fourth babies at an early pregnancy scan at 7 weeks (which I was offered due to a miscarriage three months earlier). To say we were shocked is an understatement - it took several weeks for the news to sink in, and emotions ranged from horror to excitement as I had 3 year old and 2 year old boys already. The prospect of four under five was very daunting!
I wasn’t even married when I read an article in SW magazine about Annie….the headline was “One Woman, One Midwife” and after all the horror stories I’d heard at about local maternity wards from the girls I worked with, I knew I needed to speak to her when the time came.
