"Perth Midwifery Team"

We had a wonderful experience of care from the Perth Midwifery Team, who supported us right through pregnancy to the birth of our baby girl.

Our named midwife Emma was absolutely fantastic. She was caring, reassuring, knowledgable and always went above and beyond in supporting us and organising my antenatal care and planning our  home birth. At  every appointment she took time to listen and answer my questions. She was very empathetic about this pregnancy following a miscarriage. She respected my choices and decisions about my antenatal care and birth plans,  and always ensured these were informed . She was clearly really passionate about her job and giving the best care to families and their babies. I am so grateful for everything she has done for us to ensure that bringing our wee one into the world was such a positive experience. 

When I went into labour, we had to come into the Perth midwife unit for our baby’s birth, rather than a home birth. While this was not what we had planned, the experience was brilliant and so positive.  Our midwives Cheryl and Student midwife Amel were amazing. They made us feel like the Unit was our home from home. 

Emma was there to see us when we arrived in the morning and then handed over to Cheryl and Amel.

We felt safe and confident that the birth of our baby girl would be positive. Every aspect of my birth plan was respected without us having to discuss it again. Cheryl and Amel were kind, calm and reassuring and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself . 

They not only looked after me and our baby but also my husband and made our other teenage children and family  who came in to visit feel so welcome. The experience was so special and positive, we will have really wonderful memories of it to share with our baby when she grows up!  Thank you so much also to the whole Perth midwife Team , everyone we met was lovely, professional and welcoming.
