Ask any women planning a home birth and they will tell you that there seems to a universal response “You must be Crazy!” I was asked to speak at the Manchester Home Birth Conference recently where we found out that having a planned Home birth means the midwives come to you when you are in labour, they stay and support you and carry everything that is needed for a safe birth!

Here at UK Birth Centres we give the Gold Standard care of case loading midwifery and commit to being there at the birth for all our clients. We can organise our own diaries and only work when necessary, thus leading to a highly motivated work force! We adapt a woman’s care to her individual needs and visit her at home at a time that suits.
As I reflect on the recent births I have attended, I am struck by the powerful belief the Mothers had that they could give birth and in each case they did without any intervention and it was a privilege for me to witness this. It was no coincidence though that these births went well let me explain!

Raspberry leaf tea has been used for birth preparations for decades, as it is thought to tone the uterus in preparation for labour. I thought it would be helpful therefore for me to outline some thoughts for you to consider.
