Story

aternity Care in the UK is broken. We ALL deserve better.

Families are coming home from hospital traumatized due to poor care and bad experiences, and this is because they have had "care" from midwives suffering from exhaustion and burnout.

I no longer believe that we can achieve good care from happy staff within the usual model of care for pregnancy in the UK.

Therefore - I'm following my passion, I qualified as a midwife in 2008 and for the last 6 years I've been getting together all the skills and requirements to be able to run and open my business. Mobile Midwives CIC is registered as a company since March 2023, and we are opening in August this year (2025) to provide telephone education, advice and support to families during pregnancy and the year postnatal.

We will also be acting to champion the work of Independent Midwives (private midwives that work outside of the NHS, not to be confused with private midwives the company).

I have a growing network of 18 midwives that are happy to work throughout London and England - and we are looking to grow this to the whole UK and make ours services available for everyone.

Women deserve better, midwives want to do more. Help us make this happen.

Sending big love to all

Nickie
