Lotus Midwife

Lotus Midwife is an Independent Midwifery Practice, provides antenatal care, support during your baby's birth, and postnatal care for six weeks.

Berkshire Independent Midwifery Practice is a new service launching in January 2016.

I am Sarah March, registered Midwife, International Certified Lactation Consultant and Tongue-tie Practitioner. A Birth mother myself to three children, (one Vaginal Breech Birth, one Homebirth, one Premature Emergency Cesarean), and I am also blessed to have two grown up children who complete my Family.

I offer tailored Antenatal care, unhurried and relaxed in your own home; this can be one off appointments in addition to your NHS care, or part of a complete package.

For your Labour and Baby's Birth, I am experienced in Homebirth and Waterbirth, however can accompany you to your hospital birth if desired. Most hospitals do not provide insurance for independent midwives, therefore if you chose a hospital birth, (or we transfer there in the event of a complication) I can accompany you as your advocate.

Postnatal support is available for six weeks following the birth of your baby, I visit you at home daily to start, and can assist you with all aspects of feeding and caring for your newborn.

As a Lactation Consultant, I specialise in Breastfeeding support and can offer one to one breastfeeding antenatal and postnatal sessions, also as a one off appointment or as part of your pregnancy package. I specialise in tongue tie assessment and am qualified to perform frenulotomy (the division of the tongue tie) in babies up to six months old.

Other services include:

Support and Advocacy for Consultant appointments,

Birth Plan preparation,

Previous Birth Debrief,

Pregnancy Belly Casting and Birth Art!

Please do call for a chat if you feel an independent midwife might be right for you, i would be happy to answer your questions!
