Did you know that you can use your private health insurance at King Edward Memorial Hospital with no out-of pocket expenses, and it greatly assists our hospital too?

It’s hard to imagine one midwife handling every antenatal appointment, parent education class, birth, and postnatal midwifery visit for the same woman. Thanks to the midwives working in Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) at the Family Birth Centre and KEMH this can be a regular occurrence.

Created for expectant mothers receiving care from King Edward Memorial Hospital, the Family Birth Centre and Community Midwifery Program, this comprehensive book covers everything from the pregnancy care options available to you and what to expect at your visits, through to giving birth, after your birth and breastfeeding, plus much more.
