Albany Midwives...

I went to visit the Albany Midwivery Practice yesterday (research for my presentation on Maternity Services in my local area).

What a fab bunch of women, and SO welcoming... and their birth stats are nothing short of amazing. (47% homebirth rate!)

They are unique - which is sad... all women should be offered this sort of one-to-one care...

It was an totally inspiring afternoon - and I was invited to sit in on an antenatal drop-in meeting to meet some pregnant mums-to-be, and to hear a couple of birth stories from new mums (and got to cuddle a gorgeous little boy called Troy!)
