Choosing a Consultation
The most helpful starting consultation depends on whether you are currently pregnant or in the early weeks after birth.
Pregnancy

Postnatal
After your baby is born, most women begin with a Comprehensive Postnatal Consultation. This consultation supports feeding, recovery after birth, and early newborn care.

How Consultations Work
Consultations are intentionally longer than standard maternity visits, allowing time to talk things through properly without feeling rushed.
Each consultation focuses on what is most relevant for you right now. This may include reviewing clinical information, discussing options, preparing for birth, or working through questions that have come up in pregnancy or after your baby is born.
Evidence informs the conversation, and your values and priorities guide decisions.
These consultations are collaborative, practical, and grounded in respectful midwifery care.
You are welcome to book a single consultation or return at different points if further support would be helpful.
