Caseload Midwifery is a model in which you take on a limited number of clients per month so you can provide one on one care and get to know your clients well. Instead of seeing multiple/ different midwives you will see one familiar face. We are eachothers back up, but if everything goes as plannend you will only see one of us your entire pregnancy.
Because we schedule a 1 hour consultation, it’s easier for us to attain to your wishes and needs. This also gives us the opportunity to go deeper into your needs during the pregnancy, to talk about fears or insecurities, practical matters, to prepare for childbirth and the postpartum period.
Numerous studies show that the benefits of midwifery care are significant. Care given by autonomous midwives consistently leads to better outcomes than care given by doctors (obstetricians). The benefits include lower stillbirth rates, a lower chance of problems for both mother and baby and improvements in many other important outcomes.
