Midwifery Group Practice 4 (MGP 4)

Posted By scorecardgc66

"Midwifery Group Practice 4 (MGP 4)"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

I have had both of my sons through MGP 4 with my exceptional midwife Paula. The MGP service is unsurpassed and couldn't recommend it more highly. Getting to know 'your' midwife throughout pregnancy and having that stable point of contact makes the inevitable challenges of pregnancy and labour that much less stressful.

My first labour required an instrumental delivery and when suddenly the room was filled with doctors I'd never met, Paula was the person I knew would listen to me and coach me through the process. During my second (thankfully) uneventful delivery I started panicking at the end and it was having my trusted midwife there that calmed me down and helped me push my son into the world.

At every point during pregnancy my preferences and worries were listened to and my midwife advocated for my care.

Paula and MGP4 will always have a treasured place in our family - thank you for our two healthy boys!

Dear scorecardgc66,

Congratulations on the birth of your son! I'm glad you had incredibly positive experiences with Paula and the Midwifery Group Practice (MGP4) during both of your pregnancies. Having a consistent and supportive midwife like Paula who knows you and your family can make such a difference in feeling supported and understood throughout pregnancy and birth. It's lovely to hear how Paula was there for you during both your deliveries, providing the care and reassurance you needed.

Paula and the MGP 4 team clearly made a positive impact on your family, and it's heartwarming to know that they hold such a special place in your hearts.

Wishing you and your family all the best,

Delaney
