Choosing a midwife was an important decision for me and so glad I made the right choice with Kelly. ‘Trust’ is such a huge requirement in a midwife as not only is it your own health but the health of your baby in someone elses hands. ‘Trust’ is exactly what we got.

I had complications throughout my pregnancy but Kelly was always cautious and if there was any doubt with any test she would always ensure it was followed up to make sure my health and our babies health were never at risk.

The labour was not text book and I was too sick to remember some parts but know I was never once scared as I completely trusted Kelly and knew she would make sure that myself and our baby were safe. My husband remembers how in control and professional Kelly was referring us onto the Doctors for an emergency caeserean when things were not progressing. Kelly visited every day in hospital and when I was readmitted 10 days later, her smiley face always put me at ease.

Kelly has a wealth of knowledge and throughout the preganancy would give us pamphlets, recommend us books on breastfeeding etc so we felt we were beginning our journey as informed parents.

Kelly’s follow up care after the labour was amazing. She was so patient with teaching breast feeding, caring for Breanna and she use to answer lists of questions I would save up for her visit and not once did she make me feel silly for asking anything.

I highly recommend Kelly to anyone. She is a very kind, caring and compassionate person who is truely passionate about her job. A job which I noted can be very emotionally draining when dealing with a number of woman at one time whose hormones are running rampant!! The passion she has for her chosen career shines through with her bubbly personality and sense of humour she has in ensuring that first time parents really get her undivided attention.

Thank you Kelly for being on the journey with us to bring our gorgeous daughter Breanna into the world. It was a wonderful partnership and a first time experience I will always treasure. I can’t wait to have you deliver our future babies.

May your future be full of laughter, love and one day your own bundles of joy!

Love Leesa, Scott and Breanna xx

I was fortunate enough to find Kelly via this site and very lucky she had space in her busy schedule to fit me in. I didn’t get to know her well the first time we met but I didn’t hesitate to contact her 6mnths later when I fell pregnant again as I felt at ease from the very first visit. I had quite a few complications during my pregnancy which landed me in hospital for a week, every single day I was there I had a visit from Kelly. Even though she had been up all night with other women and was exhausted, she went out of her way to check on me and make sure I saw a friendly face. She even made time to come in to the hospital with us during my c-section to keep an eye on our baby. I found Kelly to be completely competent with a vast knowledge of midwifery and infant care. Kelly has a fantastic sense of humour and often had my partner and I giggling at her comments. She is very friendly, compassionate, bubbly and easy to get along with. Kelly is a beautiful, completely unselfish person whom I am terribly grateful to have had throughout my pregnancy and looking after my new baby. I wouldn’t hesitate to seek her out again. I highly recommend you do the same if you’re looking for a midwife who will make your pregnancy as special as it should be. Thanks Kelly =)

Kelly’s name was mentioned to me by a friend so I went for a hunt online and found her on here. I like the look so I decided to go and meet her. From the moment we sat down (albeit briefly) I felt comfortable and knew that she was “the one”. She was open and honest with me right from the start and was great at putting my nervous first time mum mind to ease. Once I went into labour Kelly was great. She came and saw me at home to check on me. Once we got up to hospital she was actually already there with another lady but came and examined me and explained that she’d have to call her back up. Luckily for me Kelly was able to make it a lot sooner than she thought. She was also great after we came home and was always on the end of the phone and never made you feel guilty about ringing in the middle of the night. I will most definitely be having Kelly again for my next and recommend her to all my friends

We found Kelly through this website, after getting a bit panicky that all the good midwives had been taken. But there was no need to panic after all because she ended up being a fabulous midwife. We gave birth to our little boy Sammy on 19th November 2008. Throughout the whole pregnancy, birth, and aftercare Kelly was excellent. The best things about her I found, were her approachability, the fact that she was supportive through whatever decision we made (and there were alot of decisions to be made!), and her experience and knowledge of the whole process. Thanks Kelly for being there for us, and we would totally recommend you to anybody out there looking for a fantastic midwife.
