Pregnant? Want more support than NHS can offer, before or after baby comes?

I'm a local Mum, practicing Midwife, ED NCT teacher and a member of Neighbourhood Midwives. We are private midwives supporting women in our local communities. We can do all the antenatal care that your NHS community midwife offers (plus some extra appointments), but our appointments are usually around an hour, in your home (or other place of your choice) and at a time to suit you. We can help you with your decision process antenatally, attend you in labour if you wish - whether at home or in hospital - and can visit you for up to 6 weeks after the birth (or two if you prefer) to support your adjustment to life with baby - again our postnatal visits are usually for at least one hour and often 2 in the early days. If you just want the post birth support and not the before/ labour stuff then we can offer that too. If you're considering investigating more support than the NHS can offer - especially if you don't have family nearby or in a position to be helpful - then please consider getting in touch. Our aim is to build a supportive relationship of trust with you throughout our time together, to help you transition with confidence through pregnancy, labour, birth and the postnatal weeks.


If you'd like to know more,please take a look at our website: http://www.neighbourhoodmidwives.org.uk or you can call us on 020 8874 6624 for more information.


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Your neighbourhood Midwife.

    • Our Christmas tree collection service starts on Monday the 5th, message easy junk to book in your collection 
    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
