Can a Private Midwife Attend a Hospital Birth?

13 Apr

Many women wonder whether they can have their own midwife while giving birth in hospital.

The answer is yes, in some cases.

How It Works

Some private midwives have admitting rights at hospitals such as:

• King Edward Memorial Hospital
• Fiona Stanley Hospital

This means they can continue caring for you in hospital.

Many women want:

• hospital setting
• BUT continuity of care

Private midwifery allows both.

If you are planning a homebirth and need to transfer:

• your midwife continues support
• care remains familiar
