"Anxiety and calm"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

I was so anxious about the transition, the delivery, everything. I was really struggling in myself and everything going on in my life as well.

My midwife made all the magic happen and helped me from the start. My midwife referred me to amazing places that helped with my mental health, helped me sort out plans, listened to my concerns and was absolutely amazing during delivery. I had a planned c-section for numerous reasons and she made the whole experience really calming, informative, and honestly an amazing day despite my worries.

I would have been a mess without her helping me and guiding me through everything.

I am so thankful for my midwife and the team for absolutely everything and I am so very happy that I had the most amazing midwife anyone could have asked for. I am truely blessed for having her as she listened to my story, my worries, my fears and my concerns and helped me through them. I am now doing amazingly well with bub all thanks to her kindness and support.

Thank you again!
