Maternal Instinct
Time and time again we are reminded of how strong maternal instinct is. This little lady made her safe appearance this week with help from our multidisciplinary colleagues at the Royal Surrey County because her wonderful mother listened to her instincts #KicksCount #MumKnowsBest #MaternalInstincts
Love is all you need…
…and a bit of courage and determination… this first time mum rocked the birth of her little boy at #home in the pool #HomebirthJustHappened #HomebirthWaterbirth #MatExp #BetterBirths @RSCH_Maternity
Brightest Star
A very apt picture for this incredible woman who gave birth to her third daughter at home #HomeBirthJustHappened
Eggciting Arrival
Overnight the team were egg-cited and delighted to support this family for the second time as they brought their third child in to the world.
#Continuity is amazing for families and midwives as the same midwife had the pleasure of attending both births.
ESTIMATED Due Dates
Babies are usually born between 37 and 42 weeks gestation, this is referred to as “term” in the UK.
But did you know that only 4% of babies arrive on the magical date that everyone counts down to? More than 90% arrive on either side of their due date.
This picture shows when our caseload babies decided to make their arrival and none of them fancied their “due date”!

This morning the team supported this amazing mum give birth to her little boy who decided at the last minute that he would much rather be born at home in the presence of his big brother than via Induction at the local hospital #homebirthjusthappened
