Welcome To Maternal Moments
Perinatal Services For Your Birthing Journey
I’m Raj, an independent midwife and mum of two and I’m so glad you’re here.
Maternal Moments provides specialist, compassionate antenatal and postnatal support, with a particular focus on pregnancy after loss, trauma-responsive care, and maternal mental health. My work is centred around giving you time, continuity, calm support and a safe space to talk openly about how you’re really feeling.
We are dedicated to supporting families and providing perinatal services through every stage of the journey with compassion, expertise, and personalised care.
From questions like ‘What are perinatal services?’ to ‘What does antenatal mean?’ all the way through to ‘How common is antenatal depression?’, my experience means that there aren’t many scenarios that I haven’t come across. The key is helping you through your own personal perinatal journey and hopefully help you to realise that you’re not alone, whatever your situation.
What Maternal Moments Offers
I provide independent antenatal care, birth preparation, mental-health-focused support and postnatal recovery care tailored to your circumstances. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby, expecting a rainbow baby or navigating anxiety after a previous traumatic birth, you are not alone here.
Many families I support come to me with questions like:
- “What does antenatal care include?”
- “What support is there in pregnancy after loss?”
- “What is perinatal mental health and why does it matter?”
- “How do I feel prepared for my pregnancy when I’m anxious or overwhelmed?”
These questions matter. Your feelings matter. And your story matters.
Maternal Moments offers:
- Personalised antenatal care packages
- Birth preparation and planning
- Specialist pregnancy-after-loss support
- Trauma-responsive birth debriefing
- Postnatal home visits and early parenthood support
- Hypnobirthing (1:1 or refresher) as an optional add-on
Everything is shaped around your needs, your pace, and your emotional wellbeing.
If you’re looking for private midwifery care in the West Midlands, support that complements your NHS maternity pathway or a safe space to reflect on previous experiences, you’re in the right place.

Personalised Birth Preferences Planning
We'll work with you to create a birth plan that reflects your values and requirements as you go through your perinatal journey. Everyone is different and their needs should be reflected in how you go through the birth journey and this option allows for that.
Partner Workshops
Our partner workshops focus on equipping a birthing partner with all of the practical tools required to provide the support needed for the entire perinatal journey. We ensure that a birthing partner has the knowledge, confidence and practical insights to help their partner in as many ways possible.
Maternal Moments
At Maternal Moments we want a world where every parent feels supported, respected, and confident—regardless of their birth experience or background—through access to personalised, holistic perinatal care that honours their voice and values. Whether it’s the full perinatal period, just the antenatal services that you require or specific elements that you and your partner will benefit from, our services are here to support.
