We absolutely love it when families we have previously cared for remember us around their little one's birthday and seeing little updates as to how much their baby has grown.

Recently we have been contacted by a family whose little one was born at home almost 4 years ago with the Oak Team and they wanted to make a special mention to their Midwives Sarah Chell and Kris Reilly for their beautifully positive birthing experience.

Please join us in wishing beautiful Willow a Happy Birthday as she turns 4 at the beginning of September 💚✨️🥳

We have recently had some beautiful feedback from a family who was cared for by Eden Team who wanted to share their birth story and experience of Eden Team.

Huge congratulations from all of us at Eden Team 💚✨️..

"We want to say a HUGE thank you to the Eden team - and, in particular, to Sam for looking after me so well in all my appointments and to Emma for safely delivering our beautiful baby girl.

Orla Olivia was born happy and healthy at home on 23rd July, weighing 8 pounds 10. After a difficult experience with our first born in January 2023, we were feeling apprehensive about trying again for a home birth - but the Eden team consistently put our minds at ease.

I went into natural labour at 7am, 40+5 weeks. By 4pm, we asked the Eden team to come out as my contractions were stronger and regular. At 5pm, Emma did an examination and I was 5cm dilated, which I was really pleased about! I thought we still had a few hours to go though, so we set Emma up in the living room with Netflix and a soft drink - but, in the end, Netflix never got past the welcome screen…!

By 6pm, I felt the urge to push and my waters went at 6.05pm. We got into the birth pool at 6.10pm and Orla was born after 4 more contractions… at 6.29pm!

Everything was calm and exactly how we wanted it. After delivery, my husband cut the cord, I had lovely skin to skin time in the pool and, a couple of hours later, we introduced our toddler to her baby sister, which was amazing.

By 9.30pm, we were eating pizza and drinking champagne with my family. We went to sleep in our own bed at 11pm, ready to start life as a family of four.

As the last stage of labour happened so quickly, Emma had to deliver our baby without a second midwife present - but she was calm, confident, composed and in control throughout…which kept us calm, too.

We couldn’t have wished for a better or more healing home birth experience, after what happened during our first birth.

Personally, I couldn’t have done it without my husband and my mum, who were the perfect birth partner team, always there with reassuring words, cold flannels for my head & strong hands to hold.

We are still on cloud 9 and enjoying our baby bubble! Thank you again to the Eden Team 🩷"
