"Twin Pregnancy"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Delivery Suite Antrim Area Hospital / Ward C2 Maternity care

(as a service user),

My first pregnancy was a twin pregnancy. I was under the twins team in Antrim and the care I received from them was exceptional. 

I experienced extreme sickness with my pregnancy but thanks to Dr Donald and the twins team I found a medication that helped me manage it. He was also always there to answer questions and reassure me throughout my pregnancy. 

As well as this, he attended my c-section birth which was highly comforting as I knew someone in the room. Alongside this, the staff during the section made sure both babies were delivered safely and twin A got the care she needed when she required some assistance post birth. I truly believe it was the fast actions and good training of this team that helped my little girl and safely delivered my little boy. Even on the post partum ward the midwives were amazing and I could not fault them.

I wouldn’t have had the positive experiences if it wasn’t for Dr Donald and the twins team in Antrim. Everyone went above and beyond in helping me feel my best & ensuring I had a safe and healthy pregnancy.

Good Evening, My name is Louisa Lapworth and I am Interim Lead Midwife at Antrim Maternity.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to complete and post this wonderful feedback.

I am sorry to hear that you had extreme sickness during the pregnancy of your twins and some complications at the birth but I'm delighted to hear that you felt supported by the staff and describe receiving exceptional care.

The maternity team will really appreciate reading your words. I will ensure that I share your comments particularly with those staff mentioned; twins clinic, Dr Donald, in theatre and the midwives in the postnatal ward.

Thankyou once again for taking the time and congratulations on the birth of your son and daughter. Wishing you all the best in your parenting journey

Louisa Lapworth
