"Birthing at the KEMH Birth Centre"

I had my first son at the KEMH Birthing Centre, and my experience was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, I received exceptional care from my primary midwife, Olivia, with Katie as my backup midwife. Both my husband and I felt supported and reassured throughout the entire journey, which helped me feel relaxed and calm when it came time to give birth.

I went into labour at 41 weeks and was cared for by Katie. Meeting my backup midwife beforehand made such a difference—it gave me confidence and comfort knowing I was in capable hands. I had a drug-free water birth, and even though my son was born posterior, everything went smoothly thanks to the incredible care I received.

The aftercare was equally brilliant. The home visits were invaluable in helping me transition into motherhood, giving me the confidence I needed in my own abilities. The midwives were compassionate, supportive, and instrumental in ensuring everything went as smoothly as possible.

The past six months since my son’s birth have been the best of my life, and I truly believe that my positive pregnancy and birthing experience have played a huge role in making this new chapter so fulfilling. I can’t thank the team at the KEMH Birthing Centre enough for their outstanding care.

P.S Sophie and Chelsea were amazing.
