Athena is a goddess and so are pregnant women. We are 10 midwives providing 24 hour care for women in Portsmouth. Providing Continuity of Carer is our mission
Student Midwife Nicole is mentored by one of our midwives and benefited from the teams knowledge around continuity of care and being on call #callthemidwife#OnCall#babygirl
The 27th January was busy for us we had 2 babies born within a few minutes of each other in the wonderful stand alone birth centre @pompeymwledcare there was a 3rd Athena baby that day but unfortunately not enough of us midwives to go around #babieslikebuses#catchmitsattheready
Thankyou to the Athena team who helped make it possible to bring sweet baby Jerry into this world!! thankyou to the best midwife ever Josie, I was lucky enough to see her all the way through my pregnancy and she was the one who kept me calm, relaxed and in control of my labour!
Introducing baby Reuben who was our Christmas Day baby. Mum Sian said:
"This was my best pregnancy experience antenatally, I felt listened to and at ease during my labour even following induction at QA"
We wish them a healthy and happy #2020

This is such a great quote and only 5 weeks in this is how our team of midwives feel about the way we are working β€ we hope we can be successful like you @chikernow π€
CoC means many things, but it starts with a group of people willing to work together in a new way & willing to put pregnant families at the centre of the care they provide. But mostly itβs a group of friends who enjoy what they do. #jobsatisfaction@jane_urben@trudmister
@chikernow@jane_urben@trudmister What a great quote! This is just how our CoC team works!!!!! We are new to it all.... 5 weeks in but loving how we all pull together to put women at the centre of our care β€
