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).

"Jenny is the most amazing midwife and we felt very very lucky to have her. She was incredibly attentive throughout the entire antenatal period, always at the end of the phone, and facilitating additional scans wherever she felt necessary. During the birth she was utterly wonderful! I was put on the syntocinon drip and therefore needed to be monitored, and Jenny in about 10 hours observed myself and baby throughout. I felt in the safest hands throughout the entire process, trusted Jenny implicitly and knew that she would always help me make the right decisions. We have her to thank for the safe arrival of our little girl. Thank you Jenny."
