We are delighted to have made an initial investment of £1.5 million into My Expert Midwife, the award-winning, midwife-founded brand for pregnancy, birth and beyond. My Expert Midwife was established in 2017 by registered midwife Lesley Gilchrist and massage specialist Claire Charlton. Drawing from their personal experience and professional expertise of caring for women throughout pregnancy, the brand launched a range of no-nonsense products developed to tackle taboos around pregnancy and childbirth for new and expectant mums and new babies. At the heart of the business is a team of expert midwives with 140+ years of combined experience in midwifery. The brand currently has a portfolio of 19 products, all designed to help women prepare and recover during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood, alongside midwifedeveloped webinars, antenatal classes and e-books. The investment will support My Expert Midwife to scale the business through new product development and channel expansion. In the UK, over 5 million people are on their pregnancy journey each year from trying to conceive, through pregnancy and caring for a child under one.
