Passionate Midwives, Empowering Women of Today
A few words from Laura Millar the creator of the Midwifery Led Care programme at JOGG.
It can be stressful deciding on the type of care you want during your transition to parenthood. Becoming a parent is a life changing event, you feel the effects of this transition both emotionally and physically.
You need to feel comfortable with your lead maternity carer and their team, not only in their level of obstetric competency but also in their ability to provide emotional support and empowerment, ensuring you start this next chapter of your life with the utmost confidence.
I created this programme after working for the maternity system in Western Australia for over ten years. Throughout this time, I frequently observed women wanting continuity of care. Women are beginning to see the benefits of having an intimate relationship with her team in the birthsuite, embracing the art and science of maternity care that midwifery led care brings.
For women who have private health insurance having your own consultant obstetrician that you know and trust if an intervention arises is also very re-assuring - hence my collaboration with Mike Kamara and the creation of the Midwifery Led Care programme at the Private side of Joondalup Hospital. You will also have the option to have your antenatal midwife in birth suite with you providing birth support. This means having continuity of care throughout your pregnancy with your midwife, but also the one-on-one support during your birth and the immediate postnatal period.
I am very proud to introduce this model of care to the Western Australian maternity system.
