"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 !"
