About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Family Birth Centre

(as the patient),

I had my first experience of birth under the care of my amazing midwife Grace at the Family Birth Centre. 

I had a long 22 hour labour and felt so safe and supported throughout. I am so grateful that Grace offered me every opportunity to birth my baby unassisted and continually advocated for me even when I had to transfer up to the hospital. 

I feel so lucky to have experienced continuity of care throughout my pregnancy (with a midwife whom I trusted)  which I have no doubt played a significant factor in my positive birth experience.
