Big Sister, Little Sister

A little catch up from last week. This amazing Mum considered her options when plans changed, and chose the birth that felt safest for her and her little girl. She had support of our wonderful colleagues at The Royal Surrey. We are privileged to continue her postnatal care at home, along with this very proud big sister! #birthisamazingwhereverithappens

A surprise gift

‪Our week got off to a brilliant start with this gorgeous little boy arriving earthside in the early hours of the morning while his big brother slept soundly in the next room. Such a privilege to see the wonder on big brothers face when he came in to his parents room on waking discovered the special gift thy had been “delivered” in the night! #NotSanta #homebirthjusthappened #continuity

Ingredients for a positive birth

This amazing mother fully prepared and planned for a positive birth including developing a birth plan that covered all eventualities.

Education, maternal instinct, birth support and a trusting relationship with her named midwife ensured her little ones safe arrival earthside.

When circumstances indicated the need for a change in plan this family was already informed of their choices and had a considered alternative plan ready

Faithful Companion

Over night the team supported these experienced parents welcome their second baby in to their arms in the comfort of their own home supported by their first born. It was all a bit too much for the dog who slept through the whole thing! #HomebirthJustHappened #HomeSweetHomebirth #continuity #Information #Choice #Support
