"Birth at the FBC"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

I just wanted to shout out to all those beautiful midwifes at the FBC. I was my second water birth I was able to experience there and the care and support was just amazing.

It’s so beautiful to have one midwife who is assigned to you for the whole pregnancy and your birth. It makes such a difference if you have the chance get to know each other to go with more ease and confidence into labour.

Unfortunately my midwife was on her well deserved day off on the day I went into labour but I was able to talk to another midwife of the midwifery group which I met already before. I still felt in very good hands and so well looked after. You ladies are amazing and I can’t thank you enough for all your support and loving care.

Dear runningch94

Congratulations on your second water birth! It's wonderful to hear that you had such a positive experience at the King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH) Family Birth Centre. Having that continuity of care must have given you such reassurance throughout your journey. Even though your assigned midwife couldn’t be there on the day, it’s wonderful that you still felt supported and cared for by the team.

We will be sure to pass your feedback to the FBC team, and I have no doubt your feedback will mean so much to them.

Wishing you and your family all the best.

Delaney
