Book before they're full
Looking for amidwife?
Midwives often take only a handful of clients a month, and the good ones fill up early — so the advice is always to reach out the moment you know. ContactStar finds midwives who match what you're looking for and writes a personal message to each, so you can ask several early and let the replies come to you.
Finding a midwife before the good slots go
The moment two lines show up, you're told to find a midwife — and then you discover the ones you'd want are already booked for your month. Reaching them one at a time, between everything else early pregnancy throws at you, means the slower option costs you the slot.
ContactStar makes it one step. Describe what matters to you — home or clinic birth, language, roughly where you are — and it puts together a shortlist of midwives who offer it, with the details each lists for new enquiries.
It writes a warm, personal message to each one, which you read and approve before it's sent. Replies come to your own inbox, and you keep a clear record of who you've contacted — so you can follow up calmly instead of trying to remember who you already wrote to.
What you get
What ContactStar does for your midwife search
It handles the searching and the writing. You choose who to ask and what to say.
Tell ContactStar your due date, the care you need and roughly where you are, and it builds a shortlist of midwives who cover it, with the contact details they list for new clients.
AI drafts a short enquiry to every midwife — in any of 9 languages — with your due date and what you're after. You approve each before it sends, so reaching several takes minutes.
Every inquiry keeps an exact record of what you sent and to whom, so you never message the same midwife twice or lose track of who's replied. Answers land in your own inbox, not in ContactStar.
Messages are sent from a ContactStar address showing your name, with your own email as the Reply-To, so replies come straight to you. Your shortlist is never sold, shared or exported.
Finding a midwife with availability
Why midwife care books up early
Midwives take on a limited number of clients per due-date window, so the good ones fill up months ahead — often before some parents even realise they should be looking. If you've just found out you're pregnant, the single most useful thing you can do this week is reach out widely, because “we're full for your date” is the most common first answer.
What to include when you get in touch
Lead with your due date (or estimated week), the kind of care you're after — pregnancy, birth support, or postnatal and newborn care — and roughly where you are, since most midwives work within a set area. Mention anything that affects planning, such as a home birth or a multiple pregnancy. A message with those details lets a midwife tell you immediately whether they can help.
ContactStar puts that message together for each midwife and lets you review every one before sending.
The different kinds of midwife care
Not every midwife does everything. Some focus on antenatal appointments, some on attending the birth, and some specialise in postnatal and newborn support in the weeks afterwards. Being clear about which you need saves everyone time and gets you a faster, more accurate answer — and if you need more than one kind of care, asking several practitioners at once lets you line them up.
Cost and cover
How midwife care is paid for depends on where you are and whether it's through the public system, insurance, or privately. Ask each midwife up front what's covered and what isn't, so there are no surprises later. Reaching several at once makes those differences easy to compare alongside their availability.

Questions & Answers
Finding a midwife — common questions
When should I start looking for a midwife?
As early as you can — most midwives take only a few clients per month and fill up fast, so reaching several soon after a positive test gives you the best chance of your preferred choice. ContactStar is built for exactly that first push.
Can I reach several midwives at once?
Yes — that's the point. ContactStar drafts a personal message to each midwife on your shortlist, you approve them, and you send in one round instead of chasing one at a time over days.
Will the messages feel personal?
They're meant to. Each one is written for that midwife in your own words — who you are, roughly your due date, what kind of care you're after — and you read and edit every message before it goes.
Where do replies land?
In your own inbox. Messages show your name with your email as the Reply-To, so a midwife just replies to you directly.
Is this only for expecting parents?
Yes. It's for someone looking for midwifery care to ask about availability — not a marketing or contact-selling tool, and it's capped to keep it personal.
How early should I start looking for a midwife?
As early as you can — many book out months in advance for a given due-date window. If you've only just found out, now is the right time, and contacting several at once is the fastest way to find one with room for your date.
Can I find a midwife for postnatal care only?
Yes. You describe exactly the care you need — antenatal, birth, or postnatal and newborn support — and ContactStar contacts midwives who offer it. Nothing assumes you want a full package.
Will the midwife know how to reach me?
Yes. Each message is sent with your name and your own email as the Reply-To, so a midwife just replies and you're talking directly.
Looking for something else?
ContactStar isn't only for this one search — it works the same way for all of these.
