"Family birth centre"

Amazing experience throughout pregnancy birth and first days of baby.

We were. Listened to and treated holistically. Coming from reoccurring losses and IVF for this baby. I had high anxiety. Particularly through weeks 16-20 when I wasn’t feeling movements yet I had a death in the family and I was made redundant. I came in multiple times to check baby heart rate to settle my anxiety. Midwife’s were exceptionally caring and calming. I was always encouraged to attend rather than worry. This made a world of difference in those weeks.

The information was delivered in very easy to understand words. Appointments were never rushed. We developed a great relationship with our midwife and cannot speak highly enough for the continuous care model. The information was based on evidence and we were given opportunity to make informed choices about how we wanted to be supported in pregnancy and birth.

The birth was very supported. I felt safe and in control of the process the whole time. I felt fully supported and safe in the hands. Of the team.

We had delivered our son in the family birth centre and chose to attend again because it was such a great experience thee birth. We again had a water birth, low lighting, what felt like just me and my partner bringing our child into the world. Having the best of both worlds, a home like setting but knowing we had an exceptionally experienced and knowledgeable team to help spot if we needed intervention. I didn’t think I could beat the experience of my sons birth but our daughters was even more amazing.
