Mimosa Midwifery respect and support womens individual choices and needs. Sometimes having your baby in a hospital may be the best choice for you and your family. Mimosa Midwifery are able to guide and support you in your chosen birthing environment. Your Midwife will tailor information during your antenatal appointments to ensure you are able to have an informed, empowered birth in a hospital setting.

Your Midwife will be on-call for your planned hospital birth. We provide pregnancy care appointments as required, as well as postnatal care for 6 weeks after birth; including 3 home visits as well as your 6 week mother and baby check. Mimosa Midwifery is able to provide you with referrals for blood tests, genetic screening and ultrasound scans.

During your pregnancy, Mimosa Midwifery will provide evidence based care and information, giving you and your family proven strategies to encourage each individual to have an empowered birth experience. Evidence based information allows couples to feel physically and emotional equipped for birth in any setting.

Mimosa Midwifery will teach you strategies and techniques to support normal physiological birth. Once learned and practised, throughout your pregnancy, these will evolve into intuitive behaviours empowering you with knowledge and trust in your birthing body. Each birth is sacred and a time to rejoice.
