I feel so incredibly proud of myself, of Tom, my Mum, Kay and of Hugo. Together we were just the perfect team and the birth allowed all my dreams of my perfect family to come true.
We chose to have an independent midwife because my Mum had had very bad experiences giving birth, and was keen for me to have a much easier experience. I heard that having an independent midwife is the best way to do to prepare for a straight-forward birth, as building a trusting relationship and feeling confident and empowered by a midwife allows you to be calm during the birth.
"I can’t thank Virginia enough for agreeing to care for me in return for the work I was able to do for her. I feel incredibly fortunate that both my children have been able to enter this world into her trusted and loving hands!!"

I suffer from anxiety and fear of childbirth (tocophobia) and as soon as we met Kay I felt relieved and reassured. We wanted to find an independent midwife to support us throughout my pregnancy and birth, to be a constant presence, someone with knowledge and experience, who would get to know us, be honest with us and who would act as an advocate if we went to hospital.
By way of introduction and background, I am terrified of hospitals! And most other medical things if I am honest. My husband and I decided to start a family and I just assumed I would have to suck up by insecurities and get through my medical fears to have our family.
