"My care and birth at king Edward’s birth center"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

I had the best experience at king Edward’s birth center, I have attended the birth center for all three of my children and this last time I was able to birth at the center and achieve my dream birth. Although the first two times I transferred into the main hospital, ( the first due to going so far overdue and the second because my waters had been broken too long ). I came back because i love the continuity of care and the midwife led practice, every time i have had a beautiful midwife assigned and I’ve been very comfortable. I absolutely loved my last midwife and my whole experience of care through to my birth was fantastic, I achieved the birth I’ve always wanted and I was cared for before during and after in a safe and comfortable environment. I cannot fault any of it

Dear plutodd83,

Congratulations on the birth of your baby and thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Family Birth Centre (FBC). It is clear that the care you received through each of your pregnancies has left a positive lasting impression on you and although the first 2 births didn’t go as you had hoped you still retuned to the FBC for the continuity of care, the comfort that each midwife brought you and the hope to experience the birth you so clearly wanted. I was so pleased to read that you were able to achieve your dream birth this time!

It will give me great pleasure to pass on your kind words to the FBC team.

Wishing you and your family all the best.

Kind regards,

Melinda
