"My labour and the care I was givin"

About: Aberdeen Maternity Hospital

(as the patient),

Honestly, I am speechless with how good the care/support was when I went through my labour with 4 individuals. I was very anxious with everything and they made me feel so at ease and also made my partner comfortable. Now you would think labour would be hard and stressful, but mine was not. They looked after me and spoke the whole way through about any concerns or just general chat, which took my mind off me stressing. 2 of these individuals were students named Ellie and Emma. Emma was with me for the first half of my labour and we had such a laugh. She always made sure I was okay and comfortable and you could tell how important these things were to her and how to make the patient feel at ease! And Ellie was there for the second half of labour and was there till my baby was born and honestly, again, she spoke to me, answered my questions, made me laugh and made sure I was extremely comfortable. Again you can see how important and how much she cares! These two students will honestly go far in this field of work and Susan and Angela were just brilliant too. They made the whole process better and you could see, even being on this job for years and years, they still care for their patients and want you to have the best experience possible. So all and all, these 4 people are amazing in my eyes. I could write more and more about them, but I want these 4 people to be recognised for their exceptional work!!

Dear Laylazayn,

Congratulations on the birth of your baby.

Thank you very much for sending this amazing feedback for Ellie, Emma, Susan and Angela.

It is lovely to hear you were very well looked after, felt extremely comfortable, were at ease and had a laugh during your labour.

The recognition of the exceptional care you received by these amazing midwives and soon to be midwives does not go unnoticed and your feedback will most certainly be shared with student midwives Ellie and Emma as well as with Susan and Angela.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your lovely feedback.
