"MGP VBAC"

About: Bunbury Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

I came to the MGP program after I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child. 

For my first pregnancy I was a private patient. I was induced once I was 10 days over my due date and ended up with a C-section. 

I decided to got public with a midwife throughout my second pregnancy because I wanted to try for a VBAC and wanted to see the same person throughout. 

I could not be more pleased with my choice. The MGP program was great. They guided me in not only all the choices I have but helped me with birth preparation and got me moving during the labour to help bub out. The level of support and choices definitely out weighed my previous birth experience. 

I ended up with a natural delivery and a healthy baby boy thanks to my midwife. My recovery was so much better and quicker and my mental health has not suffered at all. 

I'm so thankful I used this program and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the future.
