Melissa Quinn Coyne, RM - Independent Midwife

We provide top quality maternity care in your own home – underpinned by the latest available research. We offer flexible, generous appointments during your pregnancy and after the birth, taking the time to work with you as an individual.

You may access us just once to discuss a particular concern, or make us your main care provider through your pregnancy and early parenthood. At present we do not offer birth care, though this may change in the future – please check this site regularly for updates on our services.

Antenatal care: One-to-one midwifery consultations are available at any point in your pregnancy. Appointments last a generous 60 minutes, so you can get to know your midwife and she can take a thorough history. Your partner is very welcome to attend. Antenatal care includes:

Physical check-ups for you and your baby
Healthy lifestyle education tailored to you
Specific information for your stage of pregnancy
Explore birth options, place of birth and choice of carers
Screening and diagnostic tests as needed
Discuss your questions with a caring professional

Postnatal care: For new mums and dads who would like more time with their midwife to learn about caring for their new baby and themselves, we offer 60 minute postnatal consultations. You needn’t have seen us in pregnancy to access our postnatal care:

Help with breastfeeding
Skills needed to care for your newborn
Talk through your birth with an understanding midwife
Healthy lifestyle education tailored to your type of birth
Full postnatal health check for mum and baby
