"Ninette was my midwife for the birth of both of my girls, but she was also so much more. My champion, support and friend. The ultimate ‘wise-woman’. Both girls were born at home.
People sometimes say to me they couldn’t afford an independent midwife, however if you can afford nursery to work once the baby is born you can afford it, an independent midwife is much less per month than my daughters nursery fees!"

"Ninny is so lovely and calming & always made me feel relaxed, happy and reassured during my pregnancy, birth and post partum. She is so genuine and passionate about birth! My baby was in a difficult position but at no point did I (or baby!) feel any stress,
I feel so lucky that I was able to have a magical, natural birth at home with her there. Thank you Ninny for a wonderful, positive experience! xxx"

"Ninette is the most wonderful midwife. She has looked after us as a family for all four our children, including three incredible home births.
I will be forever grateful for her belief in the physiological process of birth and being patient to let things unfold as they are meant to."

Your Birth.
Your Way.
I believe the mother is the expert in the realm of their birth
- Ninette HUME, independent midwife
philosophy of childbirth
My philosophy is very simple. I believe woman are the experts in the realm of childbirth. All pregnant women have instincts that need to be nurtured, so they are empowered to care for themselves. The more information and access to research-based knowledge pregnant women are given, the more intelligent their decisions.
A woman should feel comfortable and content with her choices to remove fear and doubt, thus enhancing her pregnancy.
My role as midwife is one of listening, caring, observing, informing, supporting, facilitating and assisting the pregnant woman to achieve “childbirth” to her optimum desires.
