This was my 3rd pregnancy. when I phone Oban Maternity Unit the midwife couldn't of been nicer. She asked me a few questions and if I had a preferred midwife that I would like. I asked for Elaine as the midwife I had previously wasn't there at this point. I was booked in for my first appointment in a few weeks time. Nearer my appointment my midwife changed to the same one I had with my previous pregnancies. Katherine was amazing just as she had been with my previous two pregnancies. She always made me feel comfortable at appointments, reassured me about any concerns I had.
This time round I felt more scared than I had with my previous two, I couldn't explain to begin with but I was getting closer to my section date I told Katherine that I was scared something would go wrong. She listened to me and we talked about it and she reassured me about things, she reminded me that I had done this before so knew what to expect. It made me feel more at ease about my section. Anytime Katherine was off and I had an appointment it was usually with Elaine, she was great too.
The staff in Paisley were amazing too but I couldn't wait to get home with my baby. Once home and back into the care of the Oban Midwives they were amazing from the day after we came home to the day I was discharged. I cant thank you all enough, you are such a amazing team. Katherine has been amazing from my very 1st pregnancy to my last and I couldn't of asked for better. Thank you.
