Model of care
Midwifery clinic (pub. hosp.)
Why did you choose this model of care?
I didn’t feel comfortable going through MGP as they said I would have to leave the hospital within 4 hours of giving birth, felt more comfortable being able to stay for a few days given it was my first baby.
What were your choices for this birth?
Water immersion for labour and birth, Support for normal vaginal birth, Unmedicalised birth process, Birth support team of my choice (no visitor restrictions), Access to medical care/surgery if nec (eg c-section), Nothing in particular-willing to fit in with hospital processes
How did your birth start?
Spontaneous labour (started naturally)
What were your outcomes?
CTG monitoring (continuous monitoring of baby's heartbeat), Epidural, Instrumental delivery (Vacuum extraction/Forceps), Episiotomy, Vaginal birth, Special care nursery/NICU stay for baby
Did you feel you could say No to care/treatments offered (or change your mind about your choices) at any time?
Yes
Details of experience
All the midwives involved in my care were incredibly supportive and provided the highest standard of care. I have no negative comments about my birth experience at the tweed valley hospital.
