"Empowering and positive birth experience"

I was in my 8 weeks of pregnancy and after consulting with my local GP on my choice of hospital and care, i came home and did some research. After learning about the Midwifery Group Practice i was very curious and excited and would love to go have this service for my first time giving birth. 

When i had the follow up session with GP, they were also not aware of this service and not sure how to refer me to this, which i then self-referred myself. Although was first rejected for Armadale Midwifery Group Practice, but a kind reception lady from Armadale Hospital has let me know to try the new MBC in Bentley (which is in my catch area and i was accepted in the next couple days after filling in the form online). 

I was under the care of Emily. The level of care and service was above and beyond from the beginning till the end of my pregnancy up till 6 weeks post-partum. I eventually did not get to do my preferred water birth but i was still super happy with how it all went as i was carefully given detailed explanation and guide till the final delivery. Although this is a midwife led service, any important findings or need to consult the OBGYN, Emily did not hesitate to call up the doctor and have their second opinion. Which all this was also discussed and explained to me in a thorough and detailed manner for my knowledge and decision.

Just want to express how thankful i am to Emily, Frankie and Liz, and frankly the whole team in MBC Bentley Hospital. They have treated me with such kindness and i always feel like i have a choice or being made aware of the decision throughout the experience and process, and not to mention always putting me and baby's health as the main priority while also fight for my choice till the end :) 

Thank you for letting me have such an empowering and positive first-time giving birth experience.
