Service provided by Birth Companions
Community Antenatal Services
During pregnancy, qe provide practical, emotional, information and advocacy support via phone, text, email and through antenatal visits. We can visit a woman at home or meet in a place of her choice. We can also speak to her regularly over the phone if that is what she prefers. We can help her plan and prepare for the birth of their baby, whatever other issues they face in their lives.
The support we offer is always tailored to the need of each woman but examples of what we can help with includes supporting women with information pregnancy health and wellbeing, positions for labour and birth, pain relief and what happens after birth. We can also help women to record their birth choices as well as talking to hospital staff to ensure they understand what she would like to happen during her labour.
Currently this service is mainly available to women who live in North London and are planning to give birth at the Homerton or Whittington hospitals.
