Hi,


I don't know of any London private mws to rec, however, two of my children were born in London, and the after midwifery care was good. With my first child, we had the midwife pretty much every day for at least two weeks (they just seemed to know I wasn't quite ready to not have the security of knowing someone in the know would come each day), and also, they will only stop coming when your baby has reached a gd weight etc.

Also, a health visitor will visit you, at some point in the first few days.

I believe MWs have to oome for ten days, although that may not be every day. This may have now changed.

And again for breastfeeding, there is a lot of support out there. From breastfeeding cafes, to drop ins, to someone, a bf counsellor, who came to my house with no charge. I would suggest you ask your own mws, your gp, and of course, on here, as to what is available when and where on what days, but there my own experiences have been v positive of what is available for free.

I hope this helps!

Also as summermum said there is no set number of midwife visits on the nhs. If you're struggling they will come more frequently and keep you on their books for longer. I was seen by an nhs midwife until 28 days after birth as I was having a few problems.

I had fanastic independent midwives for all my births/antenatal and postnatal. Their support for me with my recent breastfeeding difficulties was just amazing... daily visits in the run up to Xmas, some of which were for 2-3 hours.

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
