About Antenatal Care services
Antenatal care services require you to book with Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and some of your care will be with the NHS. For example, scans. The rest of the appointments will be private at home with myself, providing one to one continuity.
I support women and birthing partners in all types of birth and provide private antenatal visits at home. However labour care will take place at, and be insured by, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
I offer services that can be used in combination with a consultant obstetrician where I provide antenatal input, as well as after care support.
Whilst all packages are tailored to the individual, I can help prepare you for birth in the following ways:
- Preparing for changes to your body and self-care during pregnancy
- Physiology and stages of labour, and how best to prepare for both
- Pain management and alternative birthing options
- Hypnobirthing techniques
- Prepare you for unexpected changes in your birth plan
- Caesarean birth – natural caesarean section, planned and emergency
- Birth preference planning – planning your utopia plan
- Exploring wishes for birth partner support
- Preparing for breastfeeding and what to expect
- Your hospital stay
- Going home and early postnatal period for you and baby

FAQs
Who provides my antenatal care?
As a private midwife I can provide your continuity of midwifery care. This will be in addition to any NHS clinical care which you might require, such as seeing an obsterician, ultrasound scans, etc
Who provides my postnatal care?
As a private midwife I can also provide private post natal care, or you could have postnatal care provided by the NHS. I will always be happy to discuss the options available to you.
Are you insured?
As a private midwife I am insured by the Royal College of Nursing for antenatal and postnatal care. For labour care this will be covered by the NHS at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, and I will be paid by the hospital as a bank midwife.
What are your qualifications?
NMC (nursing midwifery council), registered nurse, registered midwife, advanced diploma in midwifery, PGCEA and BTRT (birth trauma resolution trained).
It was also so reassuring to have Jenny by my side during labour and delivery as she knew the right moments to step in and step back and I felt like she truly listened to and respected my wishes.
It was thanks to Jenny that I was able to have a natural and unassisted birth without medical intervention, which helped me find those first few weeks of life so much calmer and enjoyable than I had experienced with my first baby. I couldn't recommend Jenny enough and, with her wealth of experience, any expectant mother to have Jenny as her midwife would be in the best possible hands."
