Amazing journey with MGP5

Posted By Plumquiche

"Amazing journey with MGP5"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

I had the most amazing journey throughout my pregnancy and birth with MGP. The level of care and guidance I received from the MGP5 team was exceptional and I want to spread the word about how positive my whole experience was.

My midwife Sarah was like a (young) fairy godmother and it was so fantastic to have that continuity of care, especially being my first pregnancy. Sarah always listened to me, gave great advice and I never felt pressured into making a decision I wasn’t comfortable with.

Sarah wasn’t the only star, the other MGP5 midwives that assisted during my birth were also fantastic and I will never forget the important role they all played in the delivery of my baby.

I chose to hire and BYO my own birth pool and the water immersion was such an amazing pain relief. I do feel like this should be a standard option and pools should be provided by the hospital as it was a lot of equipment to BYO and setup/ pack down was quite time-consuming.

But other than this, I was so happy with my experience at KEMH and MGP5 and I would 100% birth here again in the future. A huge thank you to all the staff that took care of me and my baby!
