Rachel Allen-Mepham Private Midwife
Pregnancy and birth are some of the most profound transitions in life.
At Birth Song Midwifery, I offer personalised, relationship-based care through pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of parenthood — supporting you with continuity, calm and clarity, with a midwife you know and trust.
I am a private independent midwife supporting families across East and West Sussex, Kent and Surrey. Whether you are planning a home birth, navigating NHS care, or simply wanting more time, guidance and continuity in your pregnancy, my role is to walk beside you with skill, experience and deep respect for your journey.
How We Can Work Together
Every family’s needs are different, but care usually unfolds in three stages.
Antenatal Care
Regular, unhurried appointments in your home where we explore your pregnancy, health, questions and birth preferences.
Birth Support
Continuous support during labour and birth from a midwife who knows you well.
Postnatal Care
Gentle, attentive care during the early weeks as you recover, feed your baby and settle into life as a new family.
f you're exploring independent midwifery care, the best first step is a free introductory call.
“Rachel was the most supportive and empowering birth guide we could have asked for. I knew immediately we wanted her at our birth. Her medical training and openness to alternative modalities were exactly what we needed to navigate the maternity care system and to feel confident in the choices we made. This was our first baby. We feel very lucky to have found her. Every visit we had grew so much confidence and her gentle positivity and calm, strong spirit was an incredible gift to our birth journey. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
