Sam McLaughlin

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I believe that the addition of a new baby is a very special and exciting time for parents. My goal is to educate and support women throughout their pregnancy, labour, birth, and postpartum period. I provide individualised care to each woman, ensuring that all her needs are met to the best of my ability. I have a holistic approach to my care and I am passionate about supporting the natural process of pregnancy and birth, including supporting women to have a homebirth, waterbirth, or vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) should they wish. My philosophy includes supporting undisturbed skin-to-skin following birth and delayed cord clamping wherever possible. My goal is to empower you to have a safe and positive birthing experience. I work with a team of like-minded and supportive midwives and feel very privileged to be able to walk alongside you throughout this exciting time.

Testimonials

“I have had the privilege of having Sam for 2 of my pregnancies/births now! Her calm presence, personable nature, professionalism, up to date expertise and skills are everything i could have asked for in a midwife. She instilled confidence in my ability to have the birth i wanted and in adjusting to motherhood. I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone seeking a midwife!”

“I was super happy to be placed with Sam as she was so supportive and on board with every single one of my birth preferences we discussed throughout pregnancy. During labour Sam was a cool, calm and collected presence that my birth team and I really appreciated!! When we had to make some really tough & unexpected decisions we completely trusted her guidance and knew that she had our best interests at heart and she was still able to make it really special for us. Throughout postpartum she was a great listening ear and reassured us with everything! Very knowledgeable and caring, thanks Sam and the Cottage Midwives!”
