"Birth through Family Birthing Center KEMH"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

The Family Birthing Centre provided incredible support throughout my pregnancy and birth journey. From the start, they were caring, attentive, and understanding of my preferences. The midwives made me feel confident and supported every step of the way.

During labor, even though I had to give birth at the hospital due to my daughter's small measurements, the birthing center team stayed by my side. They encouraged me to use natural methods to progress labor and supported me when I decided to get an epidural. Their calm guidance and reassurance helped me navigate the challenges of a long labor, and they celebrated every milestone with me.

Thanks to their expertise and compassion, I felt empowered and cared for, even when plans had to change. They were a vital part of making my birth a positive experience.
