My C-section

"My C-section"

About: Bunbury Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

I had heard many mixed reviews about Bunbury regional and am so happy that my experience was a good one. The doctors, midwives and all the support staff in between that I saw were welcoming, informative and simply nice people to be on the care of. All my wishes were listened to and if something wasn’t able to go to plan they talked me through what was happening and did their best to make it as close to our plan as possible. 

I got to have my new baby on me from 9.30 in the morning till 9 at night and even then, he was only taken off me to change his nappy. 

All the care they took made me feel comfortable and anything that seemed undignified was approached with a smile and easy going feel. Not once did I feel uncomfortable with these lovely people. 

If the midwives noticed anything I was doing that could be approached with from a different angle, they asked for permission before attempting to show me another way (such as how my new baby was feeding). 

Thank you to all the wonderful staff I saw at the Bunbury regional hospital! My first birth experience was made a wonderful one in so many parts, thanks to you!

Dear Happy 1st time Mum,

Thankyou for taking the time to share your experience at Bunbury maternity department with Care opinion and Congratulations of the birth of your baby.

Ensuring women centred care and enabling you to be involved in the decisions surrounding your care is so important to us and holds to the WACHS values of compassion, quality and Integrity.

I am so pleased that we were able to provide you with the respect, care and experience that you are entitled to. 12 hours on your chest is wonderful, and I know a great benefit for both you and bub.

I hope you are settling into the "routine" if such a thing exists, of a first time Mum. I wish you and your family and Merry Christmas and safe new Year.

Katrina Jones
