What is Private Midwifery Care?
Private midwifery care means you’re supported by the same midwives, not a rotating roster of care providers. You receive longer appointments, evidence-based guidance, and emotional support from people who truly know you.
At MAMA, your care is continuous from your first pregnancy visit, birth, through postnatal and breastfeeding support.
Midwifery-led care and continuity of maternity care provider has been proven to have better outcomes for pregnancy, birth and early postnatal period.
These include:
Lower rates of intervention compared to standard models of care including lower rates of induction, medical pain relief and caesarean section
A reduction in low APGAR scores (more well babies at birth)
Better long-term breastfeeding rates
Improved levels of satisfaction for the birthing person and their family
Our midwives are trained and registered medical professionals with a focus on individualised care.
We bring not just knowledge and experience, but nurturing care to your birth no matter whether you choose to birth at home, with a private obstetrician or in a public hospital. We can be by your side as an experienced support person and advocate.
