The My Expert Midwife team combines the knowledge and experience of Lesley Gilchrist – registered, practising midwife, media midwifery expert, Baby Show speaker and ‘One Born Every Minute’ UK TV personality – and Claire Charlton – pre, post-natal and baby massage specialist.

Both mums to two children - with direct experience of difficulties following childbirth - Claire met Lesley whilst looking for a more positive birth experience with her second child. As well as becoming firm friends, they quickly realised that they shared a joint passion - along with sport and family life - for educating women about the reality and side effects of becoming a mum. After identifying a need, as well as a gap in the market, Claire and Lesley have spent three years developing a practical solution to the taboos that surround pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. My Expert Midwife was born.
