I recently had my baby under the Continuity of Midwifery Carer model, and I honestly can’t praise it enough. Having the same midwife - Sarah - throughout my pregnancy, labour, and postnatal care made such a difference to my experience. She was calm, professional, and so supportive every step of the way. I also had Kelly, who was shadowing, with me for most of the journey, and she brought such warmth and kindness too.
The relationship and trust I built with them really helped me feel more confident and cared for, especially compared to my previous birth. This time I felt listened to, well looked after, and genuinely supported - before, during, and after labour. Thanks to their care, my recovery has also been much smoother.
This model of care is such a brilliant idea, and I hope more women get the chance to experience it. Thank you to the team for giving me such a positive and empowering birth journey!
