Independent Midwifery in the Midlands

About Me

Lucy Buddingwood Midwife

Registered midwife & mother of two

I’m a mother of two toddlers, living in Birmingham, UK, with my husband. My background is in writing, editing and marketing, and I work part time for the Association of Radical Midwives as the Midwifery Matters Magazine Editor.

I am a freebirther and follow ancestral parenting practices as much as possible, including: extended breastfeeding, cosleeping and a low tox. lifestyle (although that’s a minefield!) I take a cautious; evidence based approach to medical intervention.

I am happy to support birthing women alongside NHS care, or completely independently. In addition, I work in partnership with other local midwives to ensure continuity of care.

Get in touch

I am a member of the following organisations: Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), Association of Radical Midwives (ARM) and the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).

I am Zest certified, which means I have insurance to legally provide care during labour and birth as an independent practitioner.
