"My experience with MGP"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Community Midwifery Program King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

What was my experience with MGP? I was guided through my first pregnancy by an amazing team of midwife's who were there for me every step of the way, they helped me through my labour, birth and postnatal care and were happy to answer any questions and concerns I had.

I went into my pregnancy completely unaware of all the options available to me. I had thought it was normal to have an epidural or c-section and birth was just another medical experience that was over and done with, but it's not. My midwife Lolita opened up my horizons to all different options to make my labour and birth a truly unique and amazing experience, such as using water to cope with my contractions, tens machine and hypnobirthing breathing techniques.  I can proudly say that with the help of my amazing team and the information I was provided at my appointments, I had no need for drugs and gave birth to a healthy baby boy who is the absolute love of my life.

I was able to have a positive birth experience and I know a lot of women cannot say the same. Even when things didn't go to plan and I required an episiotomy I had the support and information I required to feel content with the decision being made. Although births rarely go to plan I feel as though mine was the best it could possibly be.

I believe every woman who is able to participate in this program should, these ladies provide an alternative view on labour, birth and pain management that I feel has been wholly beneficial to my life, I would not change a thing about MGP's care and will go on to recommend them over and over.

Dear branyb93,

Congratulations to you and your family on the birth of your baby boy. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your journey with the Women and Newborn Health Service (WNHS).

I am so pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with our Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) model of care, and it is lovely to hear that you received the continuous care you needed to support you through your pregnancy and the birth of your baby boy.

WNHS is incredibly proud of the maternity care that is provided by our staff and the way they work with our patients to achieve positive outcomes during the pregnancy and birthing journey.

It is great to hear that your midwife so thoroughly explained all the options that were available to you, resulting in your birth plan being so successfully achieved.

It is fantastic to hear that you would recommend the service to others, as we would definitely like to expand the MGP service in the future so that more women can access the same care.

Thank you once again for sending your amazing feedback. I wish you and your family all the best for the future.

Kind regards

Jodi Graham
