"The staff were all lovely and attentive"

About: The Ulster Hospital / Maternity

(as a service user),

I recently had my baby girl via elective section (breech). The staff were all lovely and attentive. I found the section scary and was in much more pain afterwards than I had anticipated.

I want to say a special thank u the midwife looking after me during the nights. She was so kind and patient and didn't make me feel bad for buzzing a million times! She really helped get breast feeding off to a good start and helped me latch my little girl on a hundred times as she cluster fed all night and looked after her to get me some sleep.

11 weeks later we are still breast feeding and I think I would have given up that first night without her help! I was so tired and overwhelmed and her kindness was so appreciated!

Dear magpiegx89,

Congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter. I hope you both have made a full recovery from the birth.

We appreciate the time you have taken to positive this positive feedback. I will pass it on to the teams who were involved in your care. It is wonderful to hear that the staff caring for you were kind and compassionate and provided you with the assistance you needed to breastfeed your baby. We are delighted that you are successfully continuing to breastfeed 11 weeks later.

Thank you again for your kind words,

Best Wishes,

Sarah
