When you are in labour, it is our aim that you will be attended by one of the midwives on your team. When your baby is close to being born, a backup midwife will come, and they will ideally be from your team as well. This may not always be possible due to various factors, including busy times, when several labours are happening at the same time. We have a success rate of more than 90% for having a midwife who is known to you attend your birth.
