Sophie Ege RM SECM
My name is Sophie Ege and I am a self-employed community midwife living in West Cork, Ireland.
After graduating from UCC I worked in a maternity unit in Germany for several years where I gained lots of valuable experience in supporting families during physiological and complicated births.
I especially relished the opportunity to become well-versed in care during water births, use of complimentary therapies and being a lead-professional in midwifery-led care.
Giving birth to both of my daughters at home was a wonderful experience and reinstated my desire to help make homebirth an accessible choice for families.
Providing family-centred and individualised care is at the heart of my work. It is a privilege and my passion to accompany families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, supporting them to have an empowering start to parenthood.
Testimonials
I feel so lucky to have had Deirdre as my midwife. She took all the fear out of birthing for me, even though I'd had quite a tough hospital birth in the past. I look back at the birth as one of the happiest, most empowering experiences of my life. Deirdre was always there to make sure I felt safe and I knew I was able to go to her with any question or problem I may have had. She truly went above and beyond for me and my family. We called her our guardian angel throughout the entire experience!! If we ever decide to add to our family, I'd hope to have Deirdre as our midwife again. Charlotte, Skibbereen
