We had our firstborn, a healthy baby boy this month. We were in the catchment for King Edward and able to take part in the midwife program - what a blessing this was!
From the outset we had a wonderful midwife who was very informative, supportive, friendly, super knowledgeable (and calm) and always willing to answer any questions we had (even all the ridiculous ones). Being able to phone the on-call midwife at any time was unbelievably valuable for us as well. This support continued throughout the pregnancy making me feel confident and as ready as you can be to give birth.
When the actual birth came along, we could not have asked for a better experience - our midwife was exceptional and the other staff we saw at King Edward were equally as supportive, informative and professional. Underpinning the entire experience was a strong drive by all the staff to ensure I was kept well informed and able to make decisions that aligned with both my wishes and the health of our baby. This gave me huge reassurance that the right things were happening and that I had a say in this very important and life changing experience.
As a first time mum I can’t rate the midwife program and the team at King Edward highly enough. Both my partner and I agree it was the best medical experience either of us have ever had.
