For Caboolture Hospital midwife Alyce, the connection to her workplace goes well beyond her role - having given birth to all three of her children there and been cared for as a patient, by her own colleagues. 🧡
“I was looked after by the people I work alongside every day, which makes it really special,” Alyce said.
“My sister experienced a pregnancy loss 19 years ago and being around that environment made me look towards nursing and midwifery, I knew I wanted to support women through those moments.
“My favourite part is watching first-time parents become a family, I always look at the dad’s reaction too, that’s what really gets me going. Becoming a mother is such a huge transition and every woman’s journey is different."
Love Alyce! 🫶🏻
What an incredible woman
LOVE YOU ALYCE 💗
One of the most beautiful, calming midwives we have had. Alyce was incredible through the birth of our youngest and was there for all of us, including my husband in the miracle of it all. She made it all so special as we welcomed our son into the world together. Such an amazing lady that I have the pleasure of knowing, and from such an incredible team at Caboolture Hospital Maternity Ward ❤️
Lovely story Alyce and photo too. I still remember the times spent caring for your sister (& worrying about her too) and her bubba and family, but also you and yours. Miss you 💖🫂💕
Alyce is not only my best friend but the most amazing midwife, after doing a shift the night before she rushed to be by my side for the birth of my son. I was so lucky to share this moment with her and feel so safe in her hands.
Amazing Alyce!!
Alyce is a true gem 💎 so grateful to have met her on my twin pregnancy journey. I'll never forget her encouragement, support and solidarity in such a vulnerable time ❤️

Beautiful work Alyce 👏🏻🥰
Scrolling through fb just now and seeing this gorgeous face brought back all the wonderful memories of the birth of my rainbow baby 🌈🩵. Now, 20months old; I still remember Alyce encouraging me to keep going in between the contractions that I felt I had lost all momentum and when I felt I couldn’t give more. Her fierce reminders that I could and would were what lead me to my miracle baby boy. I have tears in my eyes remembering Alyce placing him on my chest with such joy in her eyes. I’m so grateful! 🩵🫶🏽
Alyce is just wonderful ❤️ beautiful midwife and beautiful person x
We were so thankful to have you deliver our little man nearly 12 years ago ❤️🩹
