Midwives you know and trust
Why choose a neighbourhood midwife?
As a mum to be you are embarking on an amazing and sometimes daunting journey. At Neighbourhood Midwives you will be supported throughout that journey by a midwife you know and trust. Sadly, in London 60% of women don't see the same midwife twice (RCM survey 2012)
We believe that having the same dependable, expert midwife by your side is what makes all the difference.
This is not simply a hunch – there is a wealth of evidence* that shows you can expect better, safer, healthier outcomes in the short- and longer-term if you choose a midwife:
| Happier, healthier mums and babies | |
|---|---|
| More likely to have a normal birth | Less likely to be admitted to hospital in the antenatal or postnatal period |
| More likely to have a positive birth experience | Less likely to have an assisted birth (ventouse/forceps) |
| More likely to have a quicker physical recovery | Less likely to give birth to a low birthweight baby |
| More likely to successfully breastfeed | Less likely to have a caesarean section |
| More likely to have a healthy baby | Less likely for her baby to be admitted to neonatal unit |
