Lucy Buddingwood

Registered midwife & mother of two, providing mother-led and evidence based care. I’m a mother of two little ones, living in Birmingham, UK, with my husband. My background is in writing, editing and marketing, and I work part time for the Association of Radical Midwives as the Midwifery Matters magazine Editor. I am a freebirther and follow ancestral parenting practices as much as possible, including: extended breastfeeding, cosleeping and a low tox. lifestyle (although that’s a minefield!)

I take a cautious; evidence based approach to medical intervention. I am happy to support birthing women alongside NHS care, or completely independently. I am also happy to provide homebirth services to women who have received all their antenatal care on the NHS but have had NHS home birth services withdrawn. In addition, I work in partnership with Independent Midwife Mollie May who covers the East Midlands.
