Harpa Ósk (babycatcher)

I'm working full time as a midwife, supporting families throughout pregnancy, birth and the weeks after the baby is born. I also give personal advice and support through my facebook page.

Catching babies is a wonderful thing. Just being there for the parents who are expecting their first baby, supporting mothers holding their newborn bundle for the first time and educating people about childbirth is my passion in life.

My background comes from nursing and midwifery. I have working experience from antenatal care, labour ward, postnatal ward, pediatrics and NICU. I have a b.sc. degree in Nursing and a cand.obst in Midwifery.

My three children inspire me every day, my sweet son with his heart of gold, my daughter with her endless energy and positive spirit and my preccious baby girl!
