Why choose an independent midwife?

The focus of midwifery care is to promote a healthy pregnancy, labour, birth, and baby. Much attention is given to the early diagnosis of symptoms and the prevention of complications. By engaging Regina's services you will have had months of comprehensive care in which you will have learnt about the processes of labour and birth and will have come to a greater understanding of your own body. As a midwife, Regina has received training to deal with any emergencies that may arise during a homebirth situation until assistance arrives. She updates this training on a regular basis.

Frequently women wish to have as little intervention in their pregnancies and births as possible and see midwives as the care providers who can help them achieve that goal most readily. Women wish to have the freedom to choose their care providers and choose their birth site. They wish to be in charge of the decisions about the births of their babies.

Independent midwifery services in London and the UK

Once you decide to book with Regina, she will arrange a booking appointment. This appointment will include a full antenatal examination and may last up to two hours. Subsequent appointments may last up to an hour. The appointments are usually held in your home. The majority of each appointment is spent discussing your feelings and thoughts and answering questions about the process of pregnancy. By the end of the pregnancy the topics covered will include nutrition, healthy lifestyle changes, relief of pregnancy discomforts, exercise, work adjustments, fetal development, baby care, preparation for breastfeeding, feelings about labour and delivery, home preparations for labour, birth, and postnatal care, routine newborn testing, relaxation, hospital procedures to be expected, and signs and symptoms of labour.

HypnoBirthing

Hypnobirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a complete birth education programme in which you will learn all about what your body is really capable of, and is naturally designed to do. This class is taught around the world, and was devised over 20 years ago by Marie Mongan – the founder of the HypnoBirthing Institute.

The method teaches you that in the absence of fear and tension, or special medical circumstances, severe pain does not have to be an accompaniment to labour. You will not be in a trance or asleep. You will be conversant and in good spirits – totally relaxed, but fully in control. You will experience birthing in an atmosphere of calm relaxation, free from the fear that prevents the muscles of your body from functioning as nature intended them to. In this calm state, your body’s natural relaxant, endorphins, replace the stress hormones that constrict and cause pain.

Benefits of hypnobirthing

The hypnobirthing course is particularly special because it creates an integral role for birthing partners. Instead of feeling like a helpless onlooker your birthing partner will be involved and better informed, and therefore in a better position to support you. Birthing partners will be taught specific skills to help you to stay calm and focussed on the techniques you’ve been taught, and to be an active part of the birth.

Many mothers who have used hypnobirthing have reported:

• Shorter labour by between 2 to 3 hours
• Reduction of complications and surgery, significantly fewer surgical births
• Shorter hospital stay
• Increase in satisfaction ratings reported by mums; births that are calm and gentle
• Reduction of post natal depression
