Homebirth was one of the most magical experiences

"Homebirth was one of the most magical experiences"

About: Victoria Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

I was expecting my 3rd child and wanted to have a homebirth. I was put into care of the fife Homebirth team who oversaw all of my care throughout my pregnancy. The service I received was amazing. The 3 midwives Paula, Frances and Katrina were incredible. They supported me through the pregnancy and were always available to answer any questions in an open and friendly way. They each made a point of getting to know me and my family so that I was comfortable with homebirth process and while in labour. It was an amazing experience and the homebirth was one of the most magical experience of motherhood. I would particularly like to thank Paula for all that she did to make this a wonderful journey for me and my husband and family. I cannot advocate this service highly enough and am so grateful to the team for their support as is my daughter!
