Diane Ménage Independent Midwife

Redirecting you to Diane's new website...

What do I offer?

  • An initial consultation

     in your own home
  • First visit as your midwife

     when I get to know you better and make a full assessment of your needs. I will carry out a full antenatal check and arrange blood tests and scans for you. Scans can be either with the NHS or privately with Mums. There will be plenty of time for you to ask questions. You will be given your pregnancy notes/records to keep with you.
  • Visits during your pregnancy

     Approximately 10 visits arranged at a time and place to suit you. These will incorporate a full antenatal check and discussion and planning of labour and birth.
  • Labour and Birth

     You will be able to contact me by phone when you go into labour. I will be with you throughout your labour and birth.
  • Visits after the birth

     Daily visits in the first week. Less frequently (as you wish) after this, until the baby is 28 days old. Lots of support to establish breast feeding.
