"Midwifery Birth Centre - amazing Pregnancy, birth and after care"

About: Bentley Hospital / Maternity Ward 2 & Neonatal Nursery

(as a service user),

I signed up to the new Midwifery Birth Centre in Bentley for my 3rd pregnancy and I had the most wonderful experience. 

I was promptly signed up with a lovely, highly experienced midwife, Liz Hull who was fantastic. She would come and visit me at home for all my prenatal appointments, always fitting in with my family’s schedule. Nothing was ever too much or too hard for her. It was very easy to contact her with questions or concerns. 

I always felt heard and taken care of and I was extremely impressed by the brand new birthing facilities at the centre. 

Liz understood the type of natural birth I was after and always made every decision and recommendation with that in mind. When it came time to birth the thoughtful decision was made to be induced at the Armadale hospital, Liz accompanied me the whole way through and was there to birth my daughter. The birth couldn’t have gone better and I believe this was partly due to the continuity of care I received and having my midwife there which brought a calmness and peace that I believe I wouldn’t have otherwise had in the regular hospital system. 

The after care was second to none. I received 6 weeks of check ups and always felt heard and supported. I had access to lactation consultants, physio therapy, etc. 

My baby girl and I are now thriving and the whole experience could not have been better. Thank you to Liz and the wonderful team at the Midwifery Birth Centre!!

Dear sigmahn96,

Congratulations on the birth of your third baby – such an exciting time! I am delighted that Liz had such a positive impact on your experience, from your prenatal appointments to your birth, and the following antenatal care. It can be distressing for mothers when their birth plans change, and I am glad that Liz was there to bring calm and peace to your birthing experience. I will make sure that she hears of your wonderful feedback.

The Midwifery Birth Centre is Western Australia’s first entirely endorsed midwife-led maternity service at a public hospital. Women are cared for by the same midwife for the duration of their pregnancy, even if they require transfer to another hospital – as in your case. I am proud to work in an organisation that is able to provide women with choices that they didn’t formerly have, and work with a team of staff, such as Liz, who tirelessly deliver amazing care.

Thank you for sharing your experience and I hope you are enjoying this special time with your precious new baby.

Kind Regards

Ben Noteboom
