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.

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).
What the sonographer had seen and the fetal specialist confirmed was that he had fractures on his femurs while in utero. Jenny was a shoulder to cry on when doctors repeatedly offered termination.
She held my hand helping me navigate a foreign medical system, and when my needs weren’t met by the NHS, she advocated and strategized on how we could seek outside help through specialists she knew. On the day of the scheduled c-section she was there beside me. It felt like we had climbed Everest and the actual birth was planting the flag.
Nine months later I finally had the chance to introduce my son to Jenny again. He was calm in her presence. She remarked on how she felt she knew him already. Attending the numerous scans with me and watching him while inside my womb somehow had built a bond between them. He knew her voice.
I am just one woman Jenny Smith has helped through what is for many an unpredictable pregnancy odyssey. She is a steady reassuring hand, giving above and beyond what is expected of a midwife. She became a comrade in my journey, and she still walks beside me."
