"Excellent maternity service"

I had my baby on the 18th September 2023, let’s say choosing George Eliot hospital is the easiest decision ever!

A little background…

I went into Coventry hospital for induction on Tuesday morning. As at Sunday morning I was still waiting for my water to be artificially ruptured after the two induction methods didn’t have me progress past 3cm. By Saturday morning my contractions were getting stronger and unbearable. But there was nothing they can do (as I have been told every time I asked for help) as there was still no space in labour ward to break my waters. It had gotten so bad I was struggling to walk properly by Sunday. I still wasn’t receiving any support or update without asking. Sunday afternoon, we were asked if we want to be transferred to George Eliot if they have space, we gladly accepted it! Best decision ever!!

Right from arriving at the hospital through to delivering my beautiful daughter, the George Eliot staff were all I imagined I wanted at such a vulnerable point in my life. So supportive, walked me through every process and ensured both my husband and I were relaxed, informed and carried along all the way! The atmosphere was just perfect for our little princess’s arrival! She was born less than 12hrs after we got there! I can’t thank the midwives enough!

My family and I are forever grateful and can’t stop singing the praises of George Eliot hospital maternity staff!
