Independent Midwifery in the Midlands

About Me

Registered midwife & mother of two

Providing mother-led and evidence based care

Lucy Buddingwood Midwife

I’m a mother of a baby and a toddler, 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. I am also happy to provide homebirth services to women who have received all their antenatal care on the NHS but have had NHS home birth services withdrawn. 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.
