Perdy Maternity Care
Private Maternity Education and Support
Bespoke antenatal education and postnatal support, delivered one-to-one in the comfort of your own home. Unhurried, evidence-based and personal — so you go into birth and the weeks that follow feeling informed, prepared and quietly confident.
Hi, I'm Perdy
Qualified midwife · London
About me
Experienced, professional and approachable.
Why choose Perdy Maternity Care
I believe in empowering families with clear, honest information so they can make the choices that feel right for them. The information I share is up-to-date, evidence-based and aligns with national guidance. One of the joys of private care is the time that families can take to ask questions. Through unhurried, one-to-one sessions, I help you feel informed, prepared and confident.
Whilst for many women a group class might be their first choice, I am here for those women and families who want:
- A more tailored approach, so that we are able to focus on what relates directly to you, giving you time to go into detail about the things that matter most
- Continuity of support with a practising NHS midwife, with the knowledge that I am available postnatally once baby arrives
- Flexibility when choosing sessions at dates and times to suit you
- Sessions delivered one-to-one online or in the privacy of your own home
If this sounds like the kind of support you're looking for, I'd love to help you prepare for birth and early parenthood. Explore my packages and stand-alone sessions to find the option that's right for you, or get in touch if you'd like to discuss your individual needs.
My background
I am currently employed as a clinical midwife in a busy London teaching Hospital.
2020 – 2023 Trained at Addenbrookes, Cambridge University Hospital (First Class degree)
- Whilst studying, I lectured at an international conference (Cambridge and The Netherlands) on continuity of care
2023 – 2025 Clinical midwife at Addenbrookes
- Published in the Practising Midwife Journal on low PAPP-A and screening in pregnancy (link)
- Completed the Enhanced Maternal Care training programme, enabling me to care for more complex and high risk cases
2025 Relocated to London

Before training as a midwife, I studied History of Art (BA) and completed an MSc at the University of Edinburgh. I spent a year working in Nepal and returned to volunteer in the largest maternity hospital in Kathmandu.

Testimonials
From families I've cared for.
"Perdy was the most wonderful, calm source of information and reassurance during my very complicated pregnancy as well as during the birth of our little boy. She was always ready to answer even the silliest questions and made us feel like they weren't silly at all! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!"
"Perdy, your gentle and calm demeanour was exactly what we needed, you truly made the experience for us."
