Thank you for sharing your experience Zahra. We think Sophie is amazing too, such a dedicated advocate for the women in her care.

I wanted to leave some feedback about my experience with the mgp program and Sophie specifically.

Sophie was honestly incredible. From the very beginning, she made me feel completely supported and safe, which meant everything to me, especially as I struggled with anxiety during my pregnancy. She’s clearly extremely experienced and knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how much she genuinely cared. She was always calm, reassuring, and so intuitive she just knew what to say and do at the right time. I always felt advocated for and never felt like I was asking stupid questions.

She was reliable, responsive, and never made me feel like just another patient. I always felt heard and understood, and she created such a sense of trust that allowed me to actually enjoy my pregnancy and birth experience. I never imagined I would have this level of care through a public service.

My actual birth experience was completely different this time, and I genuinely believe that’s because of Sophie. With my first, my labour was very long and I pushed for over two hours. This time, I only pushed for 10 minutes. The way she guided me, supported me, and coached me through each moment made such a huge difference. I felt calm, in control, and confident something I didn’t experience the first time. Also incredible that I barely teared and my recovery was so easy.

As for breastfeeding I didn't breastfeed my first at all I was scared of the process and was put off it completely, Sophie helped me overcome hat and with this baby I've loved breastfeeding and feel so much more
confident

Because of Sophie, my birth truly felt like a dream come true. I can’t thank her enough for the role she played in such an important moment in my life.

The MGP program itself is amazing and something I feel so lucky to have been part of. Having that continuity of care with someone like Sophie made such a difference it’s a model that genuinely supports women not just medically, but emotionally as well. I really hope more women get the opportunity to experience this kind of care.

Bub is doing exceptional !

Another amazing MGP experience, thank you for sharing Princess. How beautiful that Emily was there to support you through your 2nd pregnancy as a student midwife and then care for you in your 3rd pregnancy as a qualified midwife ❤️

Thank you to MGP team, especially to my midwife Emily Knight.



I would like to share some feedback on my experience with the program.



This is my third pregnancy and I can honestly say it was a smooth sailing pregnancy. On my 2nd pregnancy, Emily was still a student who was there to help and support me.



I was thrilled to know that she was my MGP midwife for this third pregnancy. From the early check ups, labour, delivery and after birth check ups, she was always so helpful, caring and knowledgeable.



She made my labour feel so calm. It was my first time having a water birth. She guided me with every contractions and made sure I breathe and relax.



Thank you to the MGP program for assisting me with my pregnancy and for the never ending support and care.



To Emily, you are amazing! I cannot thank you enough, no words can express how much we appreciate you.



Princess & Chad

Thank you for sharing your experience Erika. We are so glad you were able to experience the supported water birth you hoped for (broken foot and all), how incredibly strong and powerful you are ❤️

I can honestly say this program is amazing. From the moment I met my midwife, Emily, so much of my anxiety was instantly eased. Being able to have appointments in the comfort of my own home made such a difference, especially with a toddler.



Throughout my pregnancy, Emily was always thorough, supportive, and happy to answer every question I had. She took the time to explain everything clearly and always listened to what I wanted for my birth experience, especially around pain management during labour.



When I first met Emily, I told her how much I wanted a water birth. Even after I broke my foot at 37 weeks pregnant and was in a moon boot, she still helped make that happen, and I’ll always be so grateful I got to experience the water birth I hoped for.



During labour and birth, Emily was incredibly supportive and respectful of what I wanted and needed. She then continued to guide and care for us through those precious first weeks with our newborn, providing reassurance, encouragement, and genuine support.



The continuity of care through this program made such an enormous difference to my pregnancy, birth, and recovery. I feel so lucky and grateful to have had this experience.
