"Amazing Bridgetown/Manjimup Midwife Care and Support"

About: Bridgetown Hospital / Maternity and Delivery Warren Hospital / Warren Midwifery Group Practice

(as the patient),

We welcomed our baby girl into the world earlier this month. We are so grateful for the continuous support we were given from the Midwives at Bridgetown Hospital. Particularly Teenz who I feel is so warm, caring and supportive. My care during pregnancy was fantastic and every appointment I learnt new strategies for dealing with pregnancy symptoms and information about birthing and becoming a mum. I also had a student midwife, Georgia who I believe is equally as lovely and supportive and will make a wonderful midwife! 

Once my baby arrived, I was so impressed that I had Teenz come on a home visit the day we got home. She assisted with breast feeding and showed us ways to get rid of wind and so much more. She was so kind and I felt really like a friend coming into our home to help out and tell us we are doing a great job. Just what I think new parents need. 💖 

Every visit after we have learnt new things from Teenz, Alora and Erika who are all so supportive. Making this transition into parenthood a wonderful one. I feel we are very lucky to have this level of care in our area. 

I ended up in Bunbury hospital for the birth due to no theatre team being available in Manjimup on this day (unplanned) which was a huge shame. Hopefully this is something that can be implemented in the future. However, even though I transferred I still had care from Teenz, Georgia and Dr Casper all calling and organising things on my behalf and checking in. 

For my next baby I will definitely be having a planned c section in Manjimup so I can book Teenz & Georgia in!

Along side of Dr Casper who I feel also provided fantastic care during and after my pregnancy. 

I cannot recommend our Bridgetown/Manjimup health care team enough! Thank you all 💖

Dear Thankyou-from-Parents,

Thankyou for taking the time to share your experience with the Warren Blackwood Maternity team on Care Opinion.

I can imagine the stress of needing to transfer to Bunbury for the birth of your baby and we appreciate this feedback. We aim to continue growing and improving our services and what we can provide to women and their families in the Warren Blackwood region.

I am so glad that you felt supported and cared for by the team of midwives and doctors down in Warren Blackwood - I have passed on your kind feedback to Teenz, Alora, Erica, Georgia, Casper and all of the team involved in your care, who I know will be so pleased that they were able to provide you with care throughout your pregnancy, birth and postnatal period, even throughout your visit to Bunbury Hospital.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby and we wish you and your family all the best.
