Social Events

The Essex Midwifery Practice had one of our social get togethers today.  We have regular ‘meet ups’ with our clients both past and present.  Its a really good opportunity for us to catch up with how ‘our’ babies are doing and to socialise more with our current clients.  We really believe that by getting to know our women and building a relationship up with them makes for a better birth experience.  When we get called to a labour it is like attending a friend and for the women - they feel happy that they have someone on their way that they know and trust.

These events are also great for clients to chat to each other about their birth experiences and share ‘tips’ with each other.  We think its important to have contacts and friends with babies of similar ages to support each other.  Many friendships have been born between our clients through our social events which we think is great!

We hold get togethers every couple of months and also have a summer BBQ and christmas party.  It means we never really have to say goodbye when we discharge people!
