Excellent service from the MGP at KEMH

"Excellent service from the MGP at KEMH"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

Thanks to midwives Jess and Ginny and the overall Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) I had a very positive and calm drug-free birth at King Edward Memorial Hospital.

Jess was very supportive throughout my antenatal appointments, even during the covid restrictions, and provided me with valuable resources and info to support my pregnancy and birth plans.

Unfortunately Jess was unable to make the birth in the end due to covid, however, Ginny was rostered on that night and was just as wonderful and supportive throughout the whole birth process. She was very reassuring, patient and positive every step of the way.

The aftercare at home was also great by the midwives who all provided helpful information around breastfeeding.

I could not have asked for a better antenatal and birthing experience at a hospital. Thank you to everyone for the great care I received! I highly recommend joining the MGP program.
