Initial Consultation - £25.00

A one off visit to discuss your requirements. I will visit you at home for an informal chat. It enables us to discuss all your plans and expectations and gives us an opportunity to explain the concept of Independent Midwifery Practice with Sussex Homebirths to you.

Please note that I limit the number of clients that I take on each month to ensure that I am able to dedicate myself to their care. So please contact me at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.

Fully inclusive care - £2,950.00

From when you decide you wish to book with us we will be available for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This fee covers all your ante natal care (approximately 10 appointments, most with your lead midwife but also one with her 2nd "on call" colleague, so you know her in the unlikely event she is called to attend you at delivery).

Attendance through labour and at delivery (whether it be at home or in hospital).

Post natal visits at your own home at a frequency to suit you for 28 days (for most people we would expect about ten visits) after your baby is born.

Birth Partner Package - £2,950.00

The birth partner fee includes visits from whenever you choose to engage my services, the labour, birth and visits after your baby is born. Depending on individual requirements, a care plan is discussed and fee arranged accordingly.

If you feel having an independent midwife is for you please feel free to contact me by phone or via my contact page and we can discuss the fee depending on the package you want. Easy payment terms are always available.

 


 

"If you are reading this considering hiring Louise Readman as an independent midwife or birth partner, I can only recommend strongly that you do !!

At 38 weeks the NHS started to raise doubts as to whether a midwife would be available to come out to me when I went into labour. It was only then that I looked at my options and spoke to Louise who had been recommended to me by a friend at the NCT.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Louise to anyone, and not just for a home birth as I think we ended up getting more benefit by having Louise with us in hospital than if everything had gone according to plan at home. Next time (and there will be one !) I will want Louise with me from the start of the pregnancy !

I hope that this helps anyone who is wavering about making the decision to hire Louise – she was worth her weight in gold !"
