"Early pregnancy unit is an invaluable"

About: Altnagelvin Area Hospital / Gynaecology FAU (Ward 43)

(as the patient),

I attended the unit for an early pregnancy scan following complications in the summer last year, whilst there me and my partner received the devastating news our baby was no longer with us, the staff, Mags and Cailiosa, were so beyond kind and compassionate when dealing with us the whole time! I can’t put into words how much their care positively impacted our horrible circumstances! 

When we were lucky enough to convince again the unit were able to give me an early reassurance scan to ease anxiety, where we seen mags again, with the choice of having more scans if I felt anything was wrong which was invaluable to know there was someone there until reaching the point of pregnancy where you have an official midwife contact! 

An invaluable service who deserve a lot more recognition than they receive at times!

Thank you for taking the time to provide the EPAU with such positive feedback,

You have been in the position where you have required this service from two totally different perspectives and it is heartening to hear that you found the support that was given to you on both occasions positively impacted you.

I will be sure to pass on your feedback to the staff you have identified.

Wishing you all the very best in your pregnancy

Leanne
