Ask The Midwife

Ask The Midwife specialises in exceptional Maternity Care and Support for women and their families. We are a Limited Company providing a first of it's kind service in Maternal Healthcare. We are leading the way for innovation in Maternity Services. Whether experiencing their first pregnancy or their fourth, expectant mothers often feel a range of emotions about their pregnancy every day, from excitement to nervousness. The launch of an innovative new service that has been designed by caring and understanding midwives aims to support mothers throughout their pregnancy and those first weeks of caring for a new born by offering a direct link to experienced midwives 7 days a week. Ask the Midwife wants to bridge the gap between NHS and private care to ensure all parents are fully supported and have access to the advice they need, when they need it. The launch comes at a time when the NHS is facing financial constraints and, in some cases, this is leading to staff cuts. Typically, first time mothers will have up to ten antenatal appointments that give them an opportunity to ask questions. Ask the Midwife wants to supplement these visits by providing a line to contact an understanding professional outside of these slots. Ask the Midwife is the first app and website in the UK to be run by qualified midwives. The platform operates seven days a week, 14 hours a day, with a vetted, fully qualified team on hand to answer questions and speak in real time. To find out more visit http://askthemidwife.co.uk/.
