Meet Angie:
Angie Jordan is an independent midwife and lactation specialist of over 27 years. She was excited about pursuing the profession of midwifery from her teen years, and studying at Kings College University of London helped seal the high standard of education and care that she carries forward today.
Angie has enjoyed working overseas, where in South East Asia she worked as a volunteer, training midwives and health workers in Indonesia; and also Barbados, where she has 15 years experience as a birthing centre, water-birth/ homebirth midwife and breastfeeding specialist; launching 2 charitable organisations- Better Birthing in Bim and The Breastfeeding & Child Nutrition Foundation (The BCNF Est. 2015).
More recently Angie relocated with her family back to the UK, where she continued her practice as an NHS homebirth Team midwife and later a Vulnerable Women's Team Midwife in Croydon, specialising in mental health.
During her time in Barbados, Angie had 2 children, both born gently and peacefully, outside of hospital. The first was a water-birth at a freestanding Birthing Centre and the second was a water-birth at home.
The joy and empowerment that came with the birth of her own two children has emboldened Angie to ensure that her clients feel confident, knowledgeable and empowered in choosing their best birth for their family.

Childbirth Preparation Classes
Childbirth Preparation Classes
Connect Childbirth preparation classes are essential for couples who want to be well informed and prepared for birth, and are for those who recognize the importance of having childbirth choices .
From these classes, you can then go on to decide what you want for your birthing experience, and formulate ‘Birth Preferences’ (often called a Birth Plan) to share with birth supporters.
Preconception Wellness & Smoking Cessation Support
Preconception wellness and smoking cessation support:
At Connect Midwifery Care, we consider the 'First 1000 Days', which includes when you first conceive your baby, and up to the age of 2 years.
Did you know that your health and wellbeing before conception, plays a major role in your ease of conceiving and, maintaining a pregnancy, and the health of your baby into adulthood?
Let us support you in creating the best 'fertile ground' for yours and your baby's wellness, so you can be fully present and connected to the true joy that childbearing brings!
Services
Antenatal and Postnatal Check-ups
(With specialist Mental Health support if required) :
These days, women and their partners are actively seeking independent midwives for their maternity care, often while still being booked in at their local hospital for NHS care.
The average length of your antenatal or postnatal visit with Connect Midwifery Care is approximately 60-90 mins, and these are provided in the comfort of your own home.
Angie also has extensive experience in specialist Mental Health Support, and can offer this to each client as and when needed.
Connect Midwifery Care means true CONNECTION with mothers/ families and a more holistic and woman/family centred approach to care.
Breastfeeding Specialist Support:
Some babies latch onto the breast straight away after birth and with no difficulty at all, while others have a challenge with latching on, staying on or draining the breast adequately.
Equally some mothers have developed bad habits or anxiety from past breastfeeding experiences which requires fresh support and guidance for this new baby.
Angie is a Lactation specialist (IBCLC in training) and Connect Midwifery offers specialist services to help you with your breastfeeding problems and concerns.
