Jovana's amazing birth story
St John of God Midland Hospital, Perth
Baby Luka, 3.24kg
37 weeks 2 days
My due date was 10th of August and I had an induction booked for 4th of August because I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in week 32. Our baby boy Luka decided to surprise us, so he arrived earlier than that.
​
On 26th of July at 2:12pm Luka was born with 3240g and 50cm. Thank God everything went well and I gave birth naturally. Luka is perfectly healthy baby and recovering after giving birth is going super well!
​
I am pretty happy with all the staff from Midland Hospital and if I could choose, I would do it all over again no questions!

Your classes helped me a lot with breathing and staying calm through the labour. I was using a pilates ball in the hospital and I had a very, very long shower while I had contractions and that was the best thing ever.
My partner Alex was amazing, he was giving me massage while I had contractions, he helped me with showering, heat packs, etc. While I was pushing he was holding my leg together with midwife so he was definitely there for me and with me all the time. I’m proud of us as a team!
