"Positive antenatal and birth experience"

We moved back to Broome towards the end of my pregnancy and so was engaged with the clinic at the hospital for all of my antenatal care.

Despite not having a consistent midwife like mother’s going through MGP, I felt like we were given the same consistent and thorough care throughout and I had no worries about potentially being supported through birth without knowing who my birthing team would be.

I birthed our baby recently and was cared for BEAUTIFULLY by Jasmine, who had only been at Broome Hospital for 2 weeks prior (although with loads of experience).

Our birth was extremely quick and Jasmine managed everything incredibly well. She is mother-baby focused and really listened to my best hopes for as minimal intervention as possible. She was super supportive, very capable and didn’t intervene unnecessarily - she essentially let us do our thing whilst consistently being there. She also had a lovely student Dr supporting her (Shivean) and that was managed really well.

OB Wyan needs a mention too - I had some concerns about induction and he spent time going through a plan with us that left me feeling very informed and supported. Turns out his plan worked in the end!

We also had wonderful post-care with special mention to Tracey and Yvonne. Thank you all for your consistently good care and attention that was non-intrusive and respectful.
