Birth at FBC - KEMH

Posted By izarqw57

"Birth at FBC - KEMH"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

I have given birth to my two daughters at the Family Birth centre at KEMH in 2020 and 2023. Both births were no intervention water births. The facilities at the family birth centre are amazing, from the spacious rooms and large water birth pool, creating a calming home-like environment for labouring women. 

The support of the midwives from the FBC is amazing and the empowering and positive support they provide is second to none. I feel the model of care of the FBC is what allows so many women to achieve births where they feel confident and listened to, and walk away feeling overwhelming empowerment. 

I believe the birth centre is a fantastic facility with state of the art midwifery care and I hope this never stops being available to women in Perth.

Dear izarqw57,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Women and Newborn Health Service (WNHS), more specifically the Family Birth Centre at King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH).

I am so pleased to hear that you had such positive experiences within the Family Birth Centre environment, and that you felt so empowered and supported during the arrival of both of your daughters. Our midwives are committed to facilitating holistic care throughout the antenatal, labour/birth and postpartum periods, and it’s wonderful to get your positive feedback about this model of care.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your positive experience – I wish you and your family all the best for the future.
