Pregnancy, birth & postnatal with MGP 5

"Pregnancy, birth & postnatal with MGP 5"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Community Midwifery Program

(as the patient),

I was lucky to be placed into the care of the Midwife Group Practice 5 (MGP5) for my pregnancy and birth at King Edward Memorial Hospital. My midwife Sarah was assigned to my pregnancy care until the birth of our baby girl. This continuity of care was critical as she made me feel well informed every step of the way. Sarah was organised, caring and a great listener. It was also great to know that she was only a phone call or SMS away.

Due to major placenta previa, I had to go through c section rather than natural birth. She remained supportive and was there at the operating room.

I got to see her again with my home visits after birth which was lovely. I really valued the information she passed on with tips and tricks in managing new routines with a newborn. In my opinion, this is not something you can obtain via googling. It represents her wealth of knowledge, passion and life experience of being a midwife and a mother herself.

I absolutely loved my experience and would 100% go back into that program.

I also highly valued her continuity throughout the experience. I hope that this arrangement can be permanent in this hospital.

Dear aquilabh96,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent experience with the Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) and King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH).

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby.

I am so pleased that you had such a remarkable experience with the MGP program, even though your birth ended with a change to your original plan. I am extremely proud of our staff and the level of care that they provide to our patients. Staff at KEMH understand how important it is to our patients to have a friendly, familiar face during what can be a very intimidating experience.

We are so proud of our staff and the great level of continuous care that they provide. We would certainly like to expand the MGP service for our families in the future as our numbers grow so that more women in the community can access care from the same small group of midwives. I will ensure your feedback is provided Sarah.

Thank you, once again, for providing such wonderful feedback. I wish you and your family all the best for the future.

Kind regards,

Jodi Graham
