"Continunity of Midwifery Care"

About: Royal Jubilee Maternity services / Continuity of Midwifery Carer Service

(as the patient),

I received a phone call around 34-35 weeks pregnant from Alex about the new care system that was being brought in to Northern Ireland for midwifery care. After attending the first antenatal appointment I instantly felt like I was in good hands. Alex was so on the ball with everything, she kept in touch with me and made me feel so at ease. As this was my first baby she reassured me that everything would be ok and gave me all the  information that I needed to go into labour prepared no matter what happened birth wise.

I wish I had of received this care from the beginning of my pregnancy as it was fantastic and I really had a great bond with my midwife.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience of birthing within this new model of care.

It is lovely to hear how having your own named midwife provided you with reassurance and consitent information needed to help you prepare for your labour and birth.

I will share your kind words with your named midwife Alex and the rest of the Continuity of Midwifery Carer (CoMC) team.

Kind Regards,

Susanne Thomas O'Boyle
