Hi, I am pg with my 3rd baby, and feel I am getting no care at all. I wouldn't even know who to call if I wad worried. So I am thinking of getting a private midwife. Would you? Or have you? We are in SE London of anyone has any recommendations??!

Hi there, I hired one and am so glad I did so far! It's my first and I'm only 17+ but it's been really reassuring having someone literally at the end of the phone 24/7 to ask anything - we went on holiday recently and even my hubby was texting her - she is lovely and very supportive and I am feeling more confident already about the birth (at NHS hospital) knowing that I will have not only my husband there but also someone professional I can trust to make the right choices for me and my baby rather than anything else.
You can PM me if you want me to give you her details :)
