"Birth of first baby"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Ward C2 Maternity care

(as a service user),

I attended Antrim area hospital to give birth to my first child.  I was lucky enough to be under the super care of midwife Agata throughout my time on the delivery suite.  Agata attended to my every need, helping to make my birth experience a positive one that I will never forget.  As a nurse myself I can only aspire to give my patients half the quality of care Agata gave to me, she embodies everything that it means to be a midwife and made one of the scariest days of my life a lot less scary!  Nothing was too much to ask and she constantly reassured my husband and I throughout.  We have left with fond memories and a lasting appreciation for the work midwives do.  

Also I couldn’t write a review and not mention the anaesthetist, Frankie. He attended very quickly once I requested an epidural. I greatly appreciated his expertise and humour, He also promptly returned when I required a top up and quickly got my pain under control - the best Christmas present I could ever ask for (other than my daughter that is).  No amount of money or thanks would everyone be enough to show my gratitude to Agata, Frankie and their colleagues in the delivery suite. 

Many thanks,

Good Afternoon Silverwarexr69

My name is Helen Weir and I am the Interim Head of Service for Maternity & Gynae. Congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter- what a lovely Christmas gift for you and your husband.

Thank you so much for your kind words in relation to Agata. Agata is a great midwife who always strives to provide a high standard of woman centered care. Agata is kind, caring and compassionate midwife and we are delighted to have her as a member of our team. I will ensure that I share this feedback with Agata and know that she will be delighted to receive it.

I will also share your comments with Frankie and again we are delighted to work along an anesthetist with such great experience and as you say great sense of humour.

Once again I thank you and hope that you have had a lovely family Christmas and wish you and your husband all the best in 2023 with your little bundle of joy.

Many Thanks

Helen
