About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

I felt genuinely cared for at the FBC. All of the midwives were wonderful to work with, particularly Danika and Sophie, who made my family’s experience incredibly special. We cannot speak highly enough of the care and support they provided.

Following the birth, my postnatal check-ups with the midwives were extremely valuable. As a first-time mum, the reassurance and encouragement I received meant so much to me. Hearing simple but meaningful affirmations such as “you are doing amazing” had a profound impact, and every interaction reinforced that we were being supported and guided with care and professionalism.

Overall, our experience with the FBC was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for the kindness, reassurance, and expertise shown to us throughout. We truly hope to have the opportunity to return to the FBC again in the future
