Midwife advice please....


Recommended Posts

It's not necessarily juniper. It depends on the type of birth you want - labour ward vs home for example. I want a highly medicalised birth on labour ward so I'm with Ivy Green midwives. Different teams have different specialisms. At your booking in appointment you should be able to go over your thoughts about the birth and then you'll be assigned to a team.

thats true, but if you want the equivalent of what you had with oakwood then i would advise getting booked in with juniper now - i was with the lanes last time and i have had exactly the same sort of experience with Juniper (though i had a homebirth and so possibly was assessed/allocated in some way I'm not aware of)


i just rang them direct when i realised i was pregnant and so was registered with them ahead of my official booking in appt, if that makes sense.

I am SE22 and was originally assigned to Ivy Green. Was transferred to Juniper (who were amazing) after I said I wanted a home birth. If you can get Juniper you'll be in great hands but I believe Juniper only deal with home births and women with mental health problems?

I don't want a home birth and don't have mental health problems and I am with Juniper.


My details with registered with Kings via the midwife linked to my GP Surgery and then I received a booking appointment which had allocated me to Juniper before I had any discussions regarding my wishes. They mentioned a home birth as I was low risk and had a straightforward labour last time, and I refused saying I wanted to be in Kings.

I'm also with Juniper, and am in two minds over whether I want a home birth or not (mainly due to having another young child about). Juniper is the equivalent of what the Lanes used to be. Allocation is based on postcode, which benefits me as it used to be that it was a midwife caseload team assigned to specific GPs, and I missed out as I'm with the Gardens.

If it's a homebirth team you're looking for then it's the Birchtree midwives (with Kings) you need...leave a message on this number and they usually call back the same day: 020 3409 0704. This team is what Brierley used to be. I just had my third baby with them and they were truly amazing!!

    • The dustmen kindly broke my garden gate this morning,  so I am looking for a replacement.  I could make a complaint to the council, however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. Many thanks. 
    • My front gate has expired! Does anyone have an unwanted one - ideally wrought iron? Many thanks. 
    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery.
