"Midwifery care"

About: Busselton Health Campus / Maternity Unit, Childbirth & Parenting Education Margaret River Hospital / Maternity Department

(as the patient),

Earlier this month, our darling daughter was born at Busselton Health Campus with the support of outstanding midwives through the Margaret River Midwifery Group Practice. I achieved a successful VBAC with the support of midwives Cat, Narelle and Milena, who respected and supported my birth preferences with exceptional professionalism, encouragement and care.

Home visits and regular phone contact following our short hospital stay allowed us to feel comfortable and safe throughout our experience. I believe Cat and Milena went above and beyond in their care for my daughter and I; answering midnight phone calls, making many many home visits to check on us, and prioritising our health at all times. I have felt truly nurtured and held in my postpartum healing, and attribute our joyful settling into life as a family of four to the gentle, comforting and generous support we were afforded by our midwives. We are eternally grateful to Cat, Milena and Narelle for their care and love. Based on our experience, I would recommend this model of care to all expectant mothers in the Margaret River region.

Dear betaqs76,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share you beautiful story of feeling supported and cared for during the end of your pregnancy, labour and birth and postnatal period by the Margaret River Midwifery Group Practice.

The MGP was all of a week new when your little one decided to come into the world and your baby was the second to be born with the newly formed team. The midwives phoned me as their manager, beaming at being able to be there with and for you as you welcomed your little one into the world.

The team of six midwives, with wonderful support from the local GPOs, have certainly hit the ground running and are providing an exceptional level of care to the local women in the Margaret River area.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Warm regards

Abbey Rodda
