Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Meadow Birth Centre JustGiving page.

The Meadow Birth Centre, run by experienced midwives, will offer a safe place to give birth for 'low risk' women who have had no complications or medical problems during their pregnancy.

Midwife-led units are 'home from home' environments which provide maternity care to women who want and can safely choose a 'low tech' midwife led approach to birth.  They are staffed by midwives skilled in supporting women through normal birth.

The four-bed centre, each with an en-suite, will offer a comfortable environment where birth is treated as a 'normal' process (without intervention), rather than a medical one.

The new facility will be near the current delivery suite, but not part of it.  It will look and feel homely - not like a hospital - helping women and their families to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Patti Paine, Head of Midwifery said "Our midwives are very excited and pleased that we will be able to offer this choice of birth environment for women across Worcestershire."
