"My positive birth experience"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as a service user),

I had a non-medicated natural birth without intervention at the Family Birth Centre. My experience has been so healing after my first birth ended up with the cascade of interventions and a forceps delivery. I couldn’t talk about my previous birth experience without bursting into tears and now I can’t tell my second birth story without smiling and beaming with pride.

Viv was my midwife and the continuity of care was such an important part of my birth journey. I felt safe and had full trust that my birth was going to unfold as we had planned. Thank you so much for the amazing service you offer. I have no doubt numerous second time moms like me have been able to heal from previous birth traumas thanks the Family Birth Centre.

Dear listeneb33,

Congratulations on the birth of your baby. Your story is incredibly moving and inspiring – I loved reading about how this birth experience was so healing and empowering for you. The continuity of care and the trust you had in your midwife, Viv, clearly made a significant difference. I’m so glad to know the Family Birth Centre (FBC) provided such a supportive environment for you.

Your gratitude shows right through your story, and we will be sure to pass your feedback to Viv and the FBC team.

Wishing you and your family all the best

Delaney
