"Pregnancy and birth"

About: Bunbury Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

The care I received during my pregnancy, birth and the first few weeks of my son’s life with MGP Bunbury was second to none. My midwife Priscilla and trainee midwife Bre went above and beyond from explaining what to expect during pregnancy and labour to diagnosing our son being breach at 40+2 and helping me breast feed. You really made me feel comfortable and well informed and I don't know how we would have handled our plans changing if it weren't for you ❤️ I can't wait until next time around, I will be requesting you and hopefully bre too! 

Our birth plan changed drastically from being a home water birth to having to have a cesarean at hospital due to our baby being breech and having the cord wrapped around his neck. Being told this was terrifying, but having everything explained by Priscilla was very comforting, and I’m so grateful she was able to catch that he was breech before I went into labour. If it wasn’t for her we would have been in a very dangerous situation, and I believe it’s because of her we had a safe delivery and a happy and healthy baby!

Dear PositiveBirthPlanChange,

Thank-you for your kind words - I have passed on your feedback to Priscilla and the team at Bunbury MGP, who will be so pleased.

It can be really tough when plans change so drastically in the later stages of your pregnancy - I'm so glad that Priscilla and Bre were able to make you feel safe and supported throughout this time, and into the postnatal period.

Wishing you and your family well.
Warm regards,
Amy Gumbrell
