"Water birth experience and AMG"

About: King Edward Memorial Hospital / Aboriginal Midwifery Group Practice (Aboriginal MGP)

(as the patient),

I had the most amazing water birth and the aboriginal midwife group at king edward memorial hospital are absolutely awesome. Elly, my midwife gave me the confidence to have a water birth and advocated for me throughout. I feel like she went above and beyond to make sure I got the birthing experience I wanted, it ended up being so calming, relaxing and emotional as this is my rainbow baby after two previous losses. I couldn't recommend AMG enough, I'm hoping that this will inspire more women to pursue this as an option of birth and I hope that this opens up discussions to have more aboriginal midwife groups for all hospitals in Australia as this is such an important service to have and it should be accessible to all aboriginal mothers.

Dear moonsz33

I was incredibly touched to read about the positive experience you had with our Aboriginal Midwifery Group Practice (AMGP), and about the safe arrival of your rainbow baby. Your feedback is a testament to Elly and the team, and their commitment to providing culturally appropriate care to Aboriginal mothers.

You have so beautifully highlighted some of the benefits of the AMGP model of care, including how it allows women and their primary midwife to build trust and a positive rapport, and we will be pleased to share your feedback with Elly and to let her know the positive impact she had on you throughout your pregnancy and birth.

Warm wishes,

Delaney
