In our first episode I chat to a homebirth midwife. Áine tells me why she chose to be a midwife and later why she felt being out in the community was where she needed to be. We chat about why the service needs to be considered from early pregnancy when your care options are being discussed.She shares everything you need to know from initial contact if you are considering homebirth, antenatal appointments, the birth itself and those two weeks of postnatal care. The 2020 stats speak for themselves 94% of service users rated the service as excellent, 99% felt their postnatal care was adequate and supportive and 93% of service users were exclusively breastfeeding within 14 days on discharge. You can find further stats & additional information over at Community Midwives Association
