We are now offering online appointments if you require further information about a concern you are experiencing in pregnancy, would like to know what your choices are and discuss your plan for birth, then we are happy to provide independent advice and support. Likewise, if you need a little extra support after having your baby and would like more information but don't have the time or head space to troll through the research evidence then we can help- please do get in touch.
