Welcome to You, Your Bump & I
A little about me.
Hello, I’m Aby
I’m Aby, a midwife with over 15 years of experience, a mother of four, and a passionate advocate for personalised, compassionate maternity care.
My own journey into midwifery began with the births of my first two children over 20 years ago. I loved the care and support I received throughout my journey and was inspired to make a difference for other women and families. That experience ultimately led me to discover my vocation as a midwife. After qualifying as a midwife in 2010, I completed our family with my two younger children, both of whom were born at home in the comfort of a birth pool.
Ive spent the past 15 years working within the NHS as a community midwife, specialising in antenatal and postnatal care, as well as supporting women choosing homebirth. More recently, I have moved into an education role within the NHS, supporting junior midwives in their community practice and developing their knowledge and confidence around homebirth.
My approach
I have undertaken additional training as a Hypnobirthing Teacher, Aromatherapy for Childbirth, and in Birth Biomechanics. These additional skills complement my midwifery experience and allow me to offer families a broader range of tools and techniques to support them during pregnancy, labour and birth.
I believe every woman deserves to feel informed, confident and empowered to make decisions about her own care. Birth is deeply personal, and there is no single approach that is right for everyone. My role is to listen to you, understand what matters to you, provide evidence-based information and support you in making choices that feel right for you and your family.
Why independent midwifery?
I chose to offer independent midwifery because I believe families should have the opportunity to experience continuity of care and a strong, trusting relationship with their midwife during one of the most important transitions in their lives.
Having worked within the NHS for many years, I understand the pressures, time constraints and limitations that maternity services can sometimes face. I also understand how valuable it can be to have time to ask questions, explore your options and feel genuinely heard.
My independent midwifery service is designed to complement the care you receive from the NHS, rather than replace it. I offer a flexible pay-as-you-go service, meaning you can choose the support that feels right for you, when you need it, how often and without committing to an expensive maternity package..
Services
Antenatal Care
Personalised antenatal care in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you (Includes evenings and weekends)- helping you feel prepared, confident and supported.
Pregnancy can bring lots of questions, choices and emotions. My independent midwifery care gives you the opportunity to have more time, continuity and personalised support alongside your NHS maternity care.
Whether you would like a one-off appointment or ongoing support throughout your pregnancy, we can focus on what matters most to you.
My care is offered on a flexible, pay-as-you-go basis, so there is no requirement to commit to a large package. You can choose the support you need, when you need it, while continuing to receive your usual NHS maternity care.
My aim is to help you feel informed, confident and empowered as you prepare for the birth of your baby.
Postnatal Care
Having a baby is a very special time. The early days are filled with getting to know your baby, learning, adapting to parenthood and finding your own rhythm as a family. While it can sometimes feel challenging, having access to an experienced midwife means you can have support and reassurance whenever you feel you need it.
Your care is centred around you, your baby and your individual experience. Each appointment is tailored to what is most important to you at that time, whether you have questions, would like some reassurance or simply want some additional support.
You choose the support that feels right for you and your family — whether that is a single visit for reassurance, feeding support, help with your recovery, or ongoing postnatal care.
Pay-as-you-go postnatal midwifery gives you the flexibility to access care when you need it, without committing to an expensive maternity package. Appointments can be arranged at a time that is convenient for you and, where appropriate, in the comfort of your own home.
Your journey with Aby
Pregnancy, birth and those first weeks with your baby are such a special and important time. My aim is to offer calm, compassionate and personalised support that complements your NHS maternity care, giving you additional time, continuity and space to feel listened to, informed and confident in your choices.
With over 15 years of experience as a midwife, I’m here to walk alongside you throughout your journey — offering support, reassurance and practical guidance whenever you need it.
Why choose an independent midwife?
As an independent midwife, I offer flexible appointments in the comfort of your own home at a time that works for you.
I will help you understand all your options, discuss benefits and disadvantages, and empower you to communicate effectively with your hospital or NHS teams.
My extensive experience with various hospitals provides a deep understanding of pregnancy and postnatal support. My role is to support you in making informed decisions, ensuring you feel heard and confident in choosing what's best for you and your baby.
Please note, an independent midwife does not replace obstetric or specialist care.
