"Great support from midwives"

I recently gave birth to a baby boy at Wishaw maternity and I would just like to thank all the staff involved in my care.

I had an induced labour, and things progressed much more quickly than anyone expected but I was supported through this by the student midwife who was taking care of me that night (Kirsty), and who took the place of my husband who couldn't make the birth due to how quickly things happened.

I also wanted to thank Louise on the postnatal ward who was very helpful, explained things clearly and helped me feel more positive when I was struggling with breastfeeding.

There were so many other staff members that I didn't catch the names of who helped both me and my baby recover. I am so very thankful we have the NHS.
