Birth under MGP5

Posted By hadarjc74

"Birth under MGP5"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

Due to availability, I only got into MGP at 36 weeks! Straight away, I felt more supported, cared for, and listened to than any other time in my pregnancy.

I only had one antenatal appointment before the birth, however that was enough to calm my nerves and build confidence!

With the help of the amazing midwives, I was able to have the unmedicated, peaceful birth I had dreamed of having.

The postnatal visits were also really special, learning how to bath, swaddle, feed and soothe my baby from the comfort of my own home.

I'd highly recommend the MGP program to anyone, and are forever thankful for the amazing work these midwives do.
