I am a UK Birth Centres Ltd Midwife and as such am able to support women holistically taking into account their physical, psychological, emotional and social wellbeing. There is no better time to have compassionate support than when you are expecting and baby and it is for this reason I wanted to give you some information that may assist you once you go into labour.
