Your dedicated Midwife
With You Midwifery was founded by Penelope Watson in 2016. Her long-term experience on the Know Your Midwife program at Box Hill Hospital inspired her to expand the 1:1 Midwifery care offer on the Mornington Peninsula. Her belief in pregnancy being treated as a normal and natural experience is what drives her philosophy for a woman-centred pregnancy care option, founded on personalised education and support from one Midwife who is with you along your whole journey.
