Home Birth Hampers
Our midwife directory connects you with experienced midwives who are passionate about home birth. They will work with you to provide personalized care throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.
We offer two different birth pools and pumps for hire, providing you with a comfortable and relaxing environment for your home birth. We also hire out califonts (gas hot water heaters).
We have a meet up on the first Monday of every month at a committee member's house. All are welcome to come and join these special get togethers. We laugh, share birth stories and hear from different speakers throughout the year. These get togethers are relayed via Facebook events on our page.
