My Midwife - Westmead Caseload Midwifery

A message of thanks from Madison and baby Claudia. Thanks for this wonderful feedback ❤️

I cannot speak higher of caseload, this was my third baby with the program and every time I've felt so cared for and supported.
Abby was incredible from the get go, she got in and saw me really early on which was such a comfort for me. We lost a baby last year in April and so to be seen from so early on helped knowing she was there for every step in my anxiety and fears going into another pregnancy.

Abby reassured me when I felt like things weren't going how they should be or when I just got into my own head experiencing pregnancy after loss. She was quick to reply and support me no matter how I was going and backed me every step.

She was teamed with Ameliah who I had in my last pregnancy and they were both just the best. Abby was off when my labour began so to have Ameliah there for my birth was special especially in the absence of Abby who I had been alongside the whole pregnancy. Layla from their team also was with me for my whole birth and though I didn't know her well she was such a gift throughout the whole birth making me and my baby for cared for.

Little Claudia arrived safely and it was so special to finally have her in our arms.

Even though it was third time around I was still a bit nervous and unsure about things postpartum with Claudia and Abby walked me through it all and never made me feel silly or over the top. Just supported in every way.

Abby and Ameliah will always hold a very, very special place in my heart and I couldn't be more thankful for them, and Layla too. At every point, I felt seen, supported, safe and cared for and there's nothing more you can ask for in such a vulnerable time. Thank you to them and to Westmead for this program that provides intimate care in such a vulnerable time in women's and families lives.

So pleased to announce the safe arrival of twins Carol and Kira. Mum Leena received care by the Dragonfly Midwives and Doctors through her complex pregnancy.
Midwives Haylee (pictured) and Tina worked hard to support Leena, who also spent time in Women’s Health Ward during pregnancy
They are so cute! ❤️💛🖤
