Planned c-section

Posted By Sallyx16

"Planned c-section"

About: Maternity care / Perinatal Mental Health Midwives

(as the patient),

I had a planned c-section in august after a traumatic birth and emergency c-section in 2019

The planned team were amazing! My midwife and MCA were the most lovely people who really made us feel so relaxed and made sure my partner had a great experience too. We were looked after amazingly start to finish and really changed my opinion about the maternity unit due to previous visit. 

The drs, midwives and MCA’s were all wonderful people who really helped us have some closure and supported us so well and brought our baby safely into the world to be with his sibling.  Thankyou 💙

I was guided through my pregnancy by the perinatal mental health team also. Marianne and Beth are so kind and both really supported me in all my decisions and helped me to come to terms with my previous birth and let me say everything I’ve always needed to. I don’t know how I would have coped without either of then, Thankyou Both!
