What we bring to every visit with your midwife
Throughout your pregnancy, every visit with our midwife lasts a full hour — time to listen, explain, and answer everything you need. And because questions don't wait for the next scheduled visit, your membership isn't limited to the recommended appointments: your specialist nurse is also available for whatever comes up in between.
Margarida explains what they work through together in each consultation.
