Coast Life Midwifery’s experienced, woman-centred, and holistic approach to midwifery will help you navigate this journey, meaning you can enjoy this special time. 

You will have the same midwife throughout your pregnancy, birth and postnatal care, helping you to build a trusting and confident relationship with your midwife. This is called ‘Continuity of care’ and is a research-based approach to providing midwifery care to women and babies.

Continuity of care has been shown to have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of women and babies. Current research has demonstrated that if a women receives continuity of care by a midwife she knows and trusts she is: 

● More likely to have a normal birth 
● More likely to have a positive birth experience 
● More likely to successfully breastfeed her baby 
● Less likely to use pain relief 
● Less likely to have a caesarean birth 
● Less likely to have a premature baby 
● Less likely for her baby to be admitted to special care 
● Less likely to suffer postnatal depression
