Almost all modern women acquire a due date early in pregnancy and understand that this date signifies an optimum time frame during which human pregnancy should end. However researchers have challenged received wisdom around the notion of the average length of pregnancy (Mittendorf et al1990, 1993, Mittendorf & Williams 1991, van der Kooy 1994), Other

I have always found pregnancy amazing and beautiful. Your body goes through many changes and endures so much but sometimes not all of these changes are pleasant and can leave you feeling uncomfortable, worried and tired.

 Midwives are the specialists in pregnancy and birth!

We believe that the midwife’s role is to assist and care for women; to understand the birth process emotionally, mentally and physically and to support and educate women to be able to make informed choices.

The first hour is the most important hour after your baby is born…

Every woman all over the world is equipped with all that is needed to provide warmth, love, comfort and nutrition to her new baby.  Where possible It is important that the first hour of your baby’s life is uninterrupted or not disturbed.  In this way the built in instincts are ignited and nature starts to provide the baby with his/her first feed …Colostrum.
