Private Antenatal Care
Whether you’re looking for complete private maternity care or simply want support when you need it, you can choose from a range of flexible, personalised services designed to fit around you, your pregnancy and your family.
What's the difference between NHS and private antenatal care?
Private antenatal care gives you more time, more continuity and more space to actually be heard. Instead of squeezing your questions into the last two minutes of an appointment, we can slow things down, talk things through properly and make sure you leave feeling like you understand what’s going on.
You’ll have one midwife who gets to know you, your pregnancy and what matters to you. Someone you can message when you're wondering “Is this normal?”, someone to talk through your options with, and someone who can help you make sense of all the information thrown at you during pregnancy.
NHS antenatal care | Private antenatal care with Amie |
|---|---|
Checks, screening, monitoring and appointments throughout pregnancy | Everything is centred around you — your pregnancy, questions, preferences and what matters to you |
Appointments follow the recommended maternity schedule | More appointments and flexibility depending on what you want and need |
Appointments have a particular clinical purpose and timeframe | Longer, unhurried appointments with time to properly talk |
You may see different members of your maternity team | One dedicated midwife throughout who gets to know you and your pregnancy |
Blood pressure, urine, growth, movements and other routine checks as appropriate | Clinical checks alongside the conversations — without having to squeeze everything into one short appointment |
Screening and test results are discussed | Time to unpack your results and questions, so you understand what they actually mean for you |
Birth options and preferences are discussed as part of your maternity pathway | Proper time to explore your birth choices, including evidence, benefits, risks and alternatives |
You can contact your maternity service if you're worried | Direct WhatsApp access to Amie for questions, reassurance and support between appointments |
Care is delivered through NHS clinics, hospitals, community settings or other maternity services | Flexible appointments, including home visits where appropriate |
Information is provided to help you make decisions about your care | A safe space to ask absolutely anything — without feeling rushed, silly or like you're taking up too much time |
Your NHS team provides your maternity care | Amie works alongside your NHS team — private care doesn't have to replace your NHS care |
You have your NHS maternity records and care plan | A relationship is built over time, so by birth Amie knows you, your preferences and your story |
NHS maternity care provides the essential clinical care you and your baby need throughout pregnancy. But we also know that maternity services are busy, appointments can feel brief, and sometimes you can walk away thinking, “I still have so many questions…”
And that’s where I come in.
It doesn't have to be either/or. My private midwifery care can work alongside your NHS maternity care, or, if that's what you choose, provide your maternity care privately.
For some families, having that extra layer of support alongside the NHS is exactly what they need. For others, they want one midwife providing their care privately, with the time, continuity and flexibility that comes with it.
The choice is yours — I'll support you either way.
And if you’re someone who doesn’t want to leave an appointment feeling like you need another appointment afterwards, private antenatal care might be exactly what you're looking for.

"I had the antenatal care package from Amie whilst pregnant with my second child and her care was outstanding. Amie is welcoming, caring and extremely supportive. Amie has a heart of gold and this is evident from the way she carries out her job role. You aren’t treated as just a “patient” - you are treated as a human being with the upmost respect, dignity and care during the most life changing period of your life."

""Choosing to have @midwifeamie alongside us throughout pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period is a decision I’d make over and over again. Having someone you know and trust, who comes to your home, visits at times that work around your family and never makes you feel rushed has been invaluable. We’ve chatted, laughed, celebrated the exciting moments, and she’s been there to reassure me through the worries too. Knowing that if I had a question, she was only ever a text message away gave me so much confidence throughout this journey. Thank you, Amie, for everything you’ve done for our family"
