"Amazing births for both my children"

About: Warren Hospital

(as the patient),

The clinician for my first pregnancy - I had never felt so uncomfortable around a clinician as I did with this staff member. Unfortunately my experience with this staff member through pregnancy and birth was not something I would choose to go through again. 

The midwifery team in Manjimup/Blackwood for my second pregnancy was outstanding. I have seen just about all the midwives throughout both of my pregnancies & births and I have nothing but kind words for every one of them. Robyn had been my assigned midwife throughout both pregnancies and is so thorough and always put my needs first - unfortunately she wasn’t there for either births (due to not being on call for the first and on leave with the second) - I had Erika, Charis and a student midwife (unsure of her name) for the birth of my first child, they were amazing and so supportive. - For the birth of my second child I had Taylah and Shirley along with a student Dr Amelia, my second birth was equally as good as the first (I was induced with the second in Manjimup). 

I had seen Alora during pregnancy and postpartum for home visits - I felt very well looked after with Alora.

Teenz went through my discharge with my second pregnancy and was so thorough and interacting with my other child, she is amazing. 

The kindness and compassion they seem to have for the pregnant Mumma’s is next level and I have felt so comfortable with every one of these wonderful ladies! ❤️

Dr Casper was my GPO with the second pregnancy, I cannot thank him enough for the care he showed through this time (as well as interacting with my toddler during appointments) 

Based on my experience, I would 100% recommend Casper to every woman wanting to give birth in Manjimup/Bridgetown. 

Dr Aaron is my GP and has been for Antenatal and postpartum for both journeys, he handled the issues I had with tearing in my first pregnancy so well. Aaron is great with my first child and I will be booking in to see him postpartum with my second. (It would be great to see him be on the birthing team in the Manjimup Hospital in the future!) 

Dr Paul had given both of my epidurals and did an amazing job. 

Student Dr Amelia - I believe you are going to make an amazing doctor when you have completed your studies! Thankyou very much for following my journey and playing with my child at appointments. Xx

I cannot thank the staff enough for making both of my birthing experiences nothing short of amazing and giving me and my husband such great memories from both experiences. 

We appreciate the level of care ❤️
