We want to offer a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
Birth is one of the most important and life changing experiences a person and their family will experience. We believe that birth is a natural and physiological process, and we will work with you to birth your baby in a calm, safe and supportive environment.
The Lotus Team aims to provide personalised, holistic care either at home or in the Lotus Midwifery Unit. We provide choice, creating a birth plan with you so that you feel safe, supported and fully informed.
Our wish for Lotus is that families feel welcomed, safe and listened to. We aim to make every birth the best it can be for those giving birth here in Leeds.
What is Lotus about?
We provide low risk labour care both at home and in hospital.
Our Lotus Unit is a midwifery led unit at Leeds General Infirmary which has three rooms (including two pool rooms). We try to create a “home from home” with the emphasis being on active birth in a calmer environment.
The rooms are beautifully decorated with birth affirmations, music systems and aromatherapy diffusers. The unit also includes a small multi purpose ‘snug’ where you can make refreshments, mobilise, or wait for your final checks before going home.
