"Pregnancy and birth"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

I was supported at the Family Birth Centre under midwife care. I had the same midwife through the pregnancy and was supported by her team for my birth. The guidance and care I received during this time was amazing! My midwife understood my needs and my hopes for my birth and made sure I was informed at every point of the pregnancy. I felt confident going into my birth and safe and secure knowing that I was looked after by the team. The post natal visits at home were fantastic and I learnt so much about how to care for my baby and had reassurance each day that he was doing well. Also that I was healing after the birth. I cannot recommend the Family Birth Centre at King Edwards more highly. Thank you!
