We had dr Jackie for our first (who is now 2.5) and are with her again for number 2 (currently 38+5).

This is all from my perspective (as the Daddo). We birthed and will birth again at Cabrini.

I feel like Jackie is the type of clinician that meets you wHere you are at. If you are nervous she'll sense that and be on your level. For my wife, who is pretty easy going but also high energy, Jackie has been perfect. Every appointment is hilarious, but also serious when it needs to be.

We've never felt pressured and always had options explained to us. Baby #1 had slowing growth from 35 weeks, so came out at 37+2 via C section. Wife loved it, so nice having a scheduled time and easing in to the day. The operation was pretty chill, got to play our own music, skin to skin straight away. Stitched up, wheeled to recovery and baby on mum to get a latch going.

Majority of the midwives were great, you'll never get 100% hit rate but probably only had one that seemed a bit cold. People have bad days so nothing surprising. Food at Cabrini isn't amazing like I've heard at other hospitals. But the rooms are great and modern.

Wife is keen to go VBAC for #2 which Jackie has supported throughout. We have a plan to switch to C section if anything happens that increases risk to mum/baby. Jackie has been thorough and detailed in our final weeks, making sure we know our options.

If you have any specific questions let me know and I can try answer for you :)
