Water Birth at the Family Birth Centre

Posted By sunhs84

"Water Birth at the Family Birth Centre"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

Had a very empowering experience of my ideal birth scenario with a water birth at the Family Birth Centre. Felt listened to, empowered and respected the whole journey. 

The Family Birth Centre is a fantastic resource and our midwife Olivia was knowledgeable, friendly and an advocate for our birth preferences. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will recommend the centre to anyone who is giving birth. 

Thank you.

Dear sunhs84

Congratulations on the birth of your baby! I loved reading about your beautiful waterbirth experience at the King Edward Memorial Hospital Family Birth Centre (FBC). It’s wonderful to hear how empowered, respected, and supported you felt throughout your journey.

Your reflections on Olivia’s care were especially touching—having someone who truly listens and advocates for your preferences can make all the difference. We’ll be sure to pass your kind feedback on to Olivia and the FBC team.

Wishing you and your family all the best,

Delaney
