Giving birth at the Family Birth Centre, King Eddies

"Giving birth at the Family Birth Centre, King Eddies"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as a service user),

I had a beautiful birth experience at the FBC. Having continuity of care throughout my pregnancy allowed me to form a beautiful connection with both my midwife and also the FBC model as a whole, which led to me feeling completely supported, safe and respected throughout pregnancy and birth.

I remember arriving at the FBC while in labour and instantly feeling soothed by my angel of a midwife and the warm, calming environment. I needed to transfer to the main hospital after birth due to some complications, but even this was done in a way that I felt calm, cared for and supported, and was able to soak in those special first minutes and hours with my baby. I have nothing but good things to say about the FBC and everyone I met who works there.
