We got you

This Amazing Mama welcomed her Gorgeous little girl into her arms in the #pool at #home πŸ’– Going to have an early afternoon nap with her 3yr old was all it took to change the early about niggles into established labour- which then progressed quickly πŸ’« As the on-call team that day were already supporting another labour- a few phone calls and a sprinkle of fairy dust 🧚 resulted in being very grateful to Midwife Lucy for supporting on her day off, and Midwife Jodie for joining her from the hospital πŸ€— and the two Awesome Mamas met their babies just 4 minutes apart πŸ’™πŸ’– This big brother awoke from his nap at the perfect time and he was able to join with all the early post birth excitement #HomeBirthJustHappened #SurreyHillsHomeBirthTeam #physiolohicalbirth #waterbjrth #caselaoding #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #choice #support

Every Birth is special but the team were incredibly privileged to look after a friend and midwife colleague, and her family as they welcomed their 2nd boy πŸ’™ in the #pool. Such a special day ⭐️. A 2nd homebirth for this Amazing Mama and just wonderful to have the same 2 midwives supporting her in the comfort of her own home πŸ€©πŸ’™. With added support from the best douladog and big brother there to welcome his new best mate into the world 🌎 πŸ’™πŸ’™ #HomeBirthJustHappened #SurreyHillsHomeBirthTeam #Alfthedogwife

Lucy and the home birth team,
A huge thank you to you all for your continued support through our pregnancy and beyond.

We are so grateful to have had this experience with you all…”

Happy Christmas x

With their little ones keen to join the festivities, in the past few days we’ve supported four families as they welcomed their little ones in to the world and had the privileged of witness two births at #home. We will share their birth announcements, with permission, soon.

In the meantime we can tide you over with our “traditional” team photo from our annual Christmas meal. Many of you may notice a few familiar Surrey Hills faces!

Sadly we’ve goodbye to the lovely Jodie as she embarks on the next stage of her career at St Thomas’s. The Tommy’s mums and babies are lucky to have such a capable and caring midwife joining their unit and she will be greatly missed by the team and her case-loading families alike.

Cozy Cat

β€ͺWhen the weather is horrible there is nothing better than curling up on the sofa! The beauty of #homebirth is that you get to stay in your cosy, safe and familiar surroundings just like this second time mum supported by the team, her partner and their cat. It’s been an absolute pleasure supporting this family as their prepares for their homebirth and navigated their choices and we look forward to supporting them as they adjust to being a family of four #HomebirthJustHappened ‬
