Welcome to my website!
I am currently working in a developing country for a year (April 2010 - May 2011) as a Midwife teacher.
Please read my blog www.alicewatermaninsierraleone.blogspot.com if you wish to see what I am doing and/or look at my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/AliceWaterman
I feel it is so important that women and their families receive one to one, holistic care during pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatally.
It is a known fact that women who are cared for by an independent midwife are far more likely to have a normal birth, use less drugs in labour, more likely to successfully breast feed and less likely to develop postnatal depression.
I offer a service which helps you achieve the birth you want using research based current information, which empowers you and your family to make informed choices about your birth.
I have worked as a midwife for over 25 years, both within and outside the NHS. I have hospital, community, birth centre, management, education and neonatal/Special Care Baby Unit experience.
My specialisms include:-
- antenatal care
- parenting education
- water birth at home
- homebirth
- VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean section - at home)
- lotus birth
- postnatal care
- attendance at hospital appointments
I do hope you enjoy looking around my website. Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email alicewaterman@yahoo.co.uk for an informal chat, advice or to arrange a free 'initial consultation'.
