In addition to three new calves there was a very special arrival on the farm this morning as this incredible woman welcomed her son earthside at #home. Followed by tea for all with milk fresh from the source! #HomeBirthJustHappened @RSCH_Maternity

The dance of birth
It was a pleasure to support these experienced parents as they welcomed their little girl in to the world at #home. This little lady was in such a hurry to meet her family that she arrived before the pool was ready! #HomebirthJustHappened @RSCH_Maternity
Happy Birthday To Us!
Today the the team celebrated eight years of providing a dedicated, case-loading, homebirth service for families booked with the Royal Surrey!
This year we took inspiration from The Greatest Showman with a circus themed party complete with red noses, popcorn, and candy floss- and the tag line- Your Body, Your Baby, Your Show!
We were delighted to see so many familiar faces and get the chance to observe how much your little ones, and you as parents, had changed and grown over the preceding months!

#ThrowBackThursday
We are getting excited to see many of you at our annual picnic and reunion on Saturday!
This year we will be celebrating the team’s 8th anniversary providing a dedicated caseload-loading homebirth service at the Royal Surrey.
In the lead up to the picnic we though we’d share some throwback picture of the team.
While the faces in the team have changed over the years (although some will be very familiar) our ethos has not. You and your wishes, choices and preferences are central to the care we provide. With this in mind this year’s picnic has a circus theme and is dedicated to
Your body,
Your baby,
Your Show!
We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as we have!
