"The midwives are just absolutely lovely"

About: Dr Gray's Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

I just wanted to highlight how wonderful the midwives are in ward 3. I'm currently pregnant with my second child and have attend attend the triage unit on three occasions - twice for reduced movement and once as my community midwife sent me as she suspected preeclampsia (thankfully not the case).

I had been up a couple of times with reduced movements when i had my son in 2021 and i was determined this pregnancy was going to be different however I've still had to go up for reassurance. 

The midwives are just absolutely lovely and at no time have i been made to feel like I've wasted anyones time. Each time I've spoken to them they have said if I need to go back, day or night, just to give them a call.

They have taken time to explain everything thats been going on and have made sure I've been completely happy on each occasion before leaving. They are all a testament to NHS Grampian and the midwifery profession.

Dear RM1584,

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experiences of care provided by the midwives on Ward 3 and the community midwife. I was delighted to read this story and will share this with the midwifery team. It is always so rewarding to have positive feedback from the women we care for.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you well for the rest of your pregnancy and I am sure we will continue to work in partnership with yourself to support you through your pregnancy.

Best wishes

Gill
