About The Birth Team

Our aim is for women to be confident that we will manage natural birth or caesarean section with equal expertise and consideration. Where choice is important. A childbirth experience that is memorable for all the right reasons.

Traditionally, private childbirth care options are limited to either obstetric or midwifery care. The Birth Team work in partnership to give you the best of both worlds, creating a relationship of trust with pregnancy health care professionals you know, and who know you.

The Birth Team was created by a midwife, Sarah Denning, and Senior Consultant Obstetrician, Richard Sheridan, who recognised that something was missing from the private pregnancy care on offer. We asked pregnant women and their families what they wanted for care during pregnancy and birth – the answer was continuity of care from a dedicated midwife and obstetrician partnership.

In 2004 we began to work together, and in 2008 we put a name to how we worked – The Birth Team. With our combined professional experience and skills we offer the best of low and high risk care.

It has been a phenomenal success, in every sense. Amongst the women who want a vaginal birth, the number of babies born naturally with no help from forceps or ventouse is over 83% this year. One baby has needed helping out with forceps, and one with ventouse. We are proud of that.
