Excellent maternity services

"Excellent maternity services"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Maternity unit Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Women's outpatient clinics and investigations

(as the patient),

I would like to share my extremely positive experience with Maternity Services in NHS Forth Valley. The patient journey has been a very positive, marked by clear communication and patient collaboration prenatally, during birth and postnatally.

The cherry team were very open to discussion about having a home birth and facilitated this. Gloria is excellent and the use of the badger net app is great, The flexibility of allowing a home birth when I was 37+6 was incredible. Sharon & Rebecca the midwives who came to my home provided excellent care.

Unfortunately the day after my birth my blood pressure was high and I was admitted to ward 8 at Forth Valley Royal for monitoring and medication. All staff, midwives, health care assistants, nurses and doctors provided a compassionate and caring service to my son and I. Thank you all very much.

Dear reticulumbf46

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback regarding the care you have received throughout your pregnancy journey. I am delighted to hear you have had such a positive experience and built up a relationship with Gloria, I will ensure she is aware of the impact she has had on your experience.

An admission to hospital following your homebirth was not what you would have planned. I am glad to hear that was also a positive experience, I will pass on your message to all staff in ward 8.

I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on the birth of your son and I hope you are now settled at home.

Best Wishes

Alana Harrower
