Having been let down by our Local Health Authority who downgraded our midwifery service I turned to an independent midwife for the birth of my 2nd child 3 years ago so that I could have the continuity of care that the LHA had promised but reneged on. The experience was better than I imagined so much so that I'm back with the same wonderful independent midwife for my 3rd child due in October. I have a midwife that listens to my needs, that has taken time to build a rapport with me & who I trust with both my childs & my life. Shame on any government that wants to see an end to such an excellent service. The NHS could learn a lot from the service I have experienced through my lovely independent midwife who has become a friend in the process. By the way Annie, your brill!!!! (ex-client)
