MGP - care provided during pregnancy and labour

Posted By zebrafh93

"MGP - care provided during pregnancy and labour"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as a service user),

Due to a previous miscarriage, anxiety heightened significantly when I was fortunate to become pregnant. I was recommended to have provision under MGP and I'm so glad I opted for this route. 

The care was so much more personalised and both my husband and I really got to know our primary midwife and second midwife very well. They took time to get to know me and what my needs were. During labour, our primary midwife wasn't on shift but that was ok as we had such a good relationship with our other. Both midwives were positive, compassionate, well informed, able to answer queries and allay anxieties and truly cared for both my husband and I. Thank you!

Dear zebrafh93,

Congratulations on the birth of your little one, and thank you for sharing about your experience with the Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) at King Edward Memorial Hospital. I am so pleased to hear that the MGP team were able to provide such compassionate care and support to you and your family. This is so important, particularly with the anxiety that can occur when navigating a pregnancy after a pregnancy loss. Thank you for sharing about how much this meant to your family.

We will be very pleased to share your feedback with the MGP team to let them know the positive impact they had on you and your family throughout your pregnancy and birth.

Best wishes,

Delaney
