Katrina
“We chose to have our first baby at Royal Women’s Hospital and what started with many unknowns and overwhelm in a system that we were unfamiliar with, instead became an experience of empowerment thanks to the support of our midwife Marita and the MAMA team throughout our pregnancy and during the birth of our girl.”
Takako
“Preparing for my VBAC initiated a healing process around my first birth. I learnt that it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t achieve the natural birth I wanted. I connected with the most supportive women to help me mend my broken heart. By the time my baby was due, I was in a grateful state of mind.”

"I only pushed for 12 minutes. I was so proud of myself!”
