"Home Birth"

About: Maternity care / Community Midwives

(as the patient),

I had a planned home birth 2 weeks ago, it was the most amazing experience of my life and I cannot recommend the Fife Homebirth Team enough. 

From start to finish the midwives (Francis, Paula and Katrina) were incredible. Paula in particular is an absolute angel - she took the time to get to know me and my family at my antenatal appointments and I felt informed and supported with my plans. Having my appointments at home was lovely, especially with the covid situation as this made me feel more protected.

I had full confidence that I would be well looked after during my labour. Paula was there for the birth and it really was the most incredible experience, it wouldn’t have been the same without her calm and caring nature. Kirsty unfortunately missed the birth but was so supportive and knowledgeable with our care afterwards. I really cannot thank the team enough for helping me safely bring my baby boy into the world.
