Megan Roberts, The

Village Way

My name is Megan. Wife. Mother of four wild children. Endorsed Midwife.

I am a mother to four vibrant, beautiful, full of beans, headstrong children! All were born through continuity of care models with Midwives.

Amongst the chaos of a busy family life, I enjoy walking our dog, time with family and friends, beach holidays (I HATE the cold), travel (my time will come to explore the world!), a good book, a solid brunch (not going to lie, love my food), coffee and when it’s time, a cheeky red wine!

Midwife life started at a tertiary hospital in 2011 where it was baptism by fire! IT WAS BUSY! Consolidating skills and knowledge, learning a lot and fast! I was exposed to the diversity of pregnancy, birth and postnatal. I witnessed straightforward pregnancy and birth. Conversely, I cared for and supported some of the most complex pregnancies. I specialised in a Maternal and Fetal Medicine unit where I acquired some unique skills. I also spent time in an Obstetrics and Gynaecology emergency department which encompassed an array of challenges across the pregnancy spectrum.

After our third child our little family decided on a tree change and headed back to our grass roots in rural Victoria where we grew up. Surrounded by our village and a lot more space!

Since relocating, I have worked in rural hospitals with lower risk pregnancies which has also offered great learning opportunities and challenges in a different way.

Over the years, I have become increasingly passionate about supporting physiological birth and reducing trauma in Women’s experiences of birth. The current National statistics do not represent a healthy maternity system. Intervention has become the norm. This is what motivated my decision to choose the Private Midwifery path. To make a difference on a personal level by offering optimal care, support, collaboration and nurturing for the families of our community.

Your family. Your tribe. Your Way.
