During my whole pregnancy the maternity team took very good care of me and my baby but i was still scared of giving birth, last week i had my first baby at the hospital, my contractions build up so quick that when i arrived at the hospital i was already fully dilated and unable to have an epidural as my baby was coming, the midwives quickly filled a pool so i could get some relief and have my baby in the water, i can not describe how grateful i am for the midwives who attended my delivery, the midwife (i would love to include her name but not allowed) kept telling me during my contractions that i was safe and where i was meant to be, that i was doing great and i just had to do whatever my body was asking me to do, hearing her voice during my pushing stage gave me the strength i needed and the calm to know i was in good hands, special thanks to her as i had a fantastic experience and felt safe the whole time.
After my delivery i was moved to a room and different midwives were taking an excellent care of us, i would love to give a special review to one of them in particular but this system does not allow me to include names . In resume, Lewisham Hospital has a really good maternity team, midwives are all amazing and experienced. Wonderful staff.
