A government paper produced in 2016 entitled Better Births stated that all women should receive personalised care, centered around you, your baby and your family. We are a small team of midwives and midwifery support workers who will care for you throughout your pregnancy, labour and following the birth of your baby.
We are aiming to ensure that the care you receive is safe and is based on the midwives getting to know you and you getting to know them, in order to improve outcomes for you and your baby.
Daisy/Poppy Team – Grimsby
At your first appointment (booking) you will meet your named midwife and the aim is that she or her buddy midwife will build a relationship with you in order to meet your needs throughout your pregnancy journey. If the named midwife or the buddy midwife are unavailable, then you will see another midwife from the Daisy/Poppy Team.
If you need to see a consultant obstetrician or a specialist midwife during your pregnancy, we will work alongside them to provide your care.
A midwife known to you from the Daisy/Poppy Team (ideally your named or buddy midwife) will provide your care during labour. In unforeseen circumstances this may not be possible; however, every attempt will be made to ensure that during your labour this is achieved.
Once your baby is born the Daisy/Poppy Team midwives will continue to care for you and your baby by either visiting you at home or at a Children’s Centre.
The Daisy/Poppy Team will provide regular “Meet the Team” events and Antenatal Education sessions which will give you the opportunity to meet all the midwives and the midwifery support worker within the team. For further information please speak to your midwife.
