"Kind, caring and full of expert advice"

I am very grateful for the care, attention and support I received from the community midwives in the NHSCT Mid-Ulster Area after the birth of my child.

I wish I had names to thank them individually but regrettably I do not. Nonetheless, everyone who spoke to me or visited me was kind, caring and full of expert advice. I felt safe and supported. Many went the extra mile in supporting me over the weekend and a bit longer than usual due to infection.

I wish I had a reward or pay rise for them as they really are exceptional and helped me make it through a really challenging postnatal period.

I hope this note of thanks reaches them and their management as they deserve high praise for their work. The new mums in my area are lucky to have them.
