Happy Birthday To Us!

Posted in Inspiration & Information by surreyhillshomebirth

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!

Drug of choice

For some reason this picture particularly resonates with the team who consume more than their far share of both tea and biscuits!

It was a total pleasure to support these second time parents as they welcomed their second child, their first son and homebirth, in to the world.

Authentic Self

Posted in Forum, Inspiration & Information by surreyhillshomebirth

We know that a birthing body works best when it feels safe, secure and unobserved .

Confidence and Sweet Tea

Posted in At Home by surreyhillshomebirth

I feel quite emotional writing this. it’s just over two weeks since my birth and I am quite sad that it is getting further in the past. I don’t think many mums feel this way about their birth experience!
