"The whole team who dealt with me were amazing"

About: Borders General Hospital / Maternity care Borders General Hospital / Theatres

(as the patient),

I came into hospital in the middle of January for a standard scan (my waters broke that morning) I didn't want anywhere near a hospital to deliver so it made me immediately panic and nothing could settle me. I ended up needing a c section in the end and the cord was around the baby so all worked out in the end.

The anaesthetic Mark I think his name is, was absolutely fantastic in theatre. Kept talking the whole time let me do things at me own pace. He even got the first few pictures of my daughter so I will be forever grateful.

The whole team in theatre was amazing but I cannot remember to name them individually.

Shonaq was my specialist and without her I don't think I'd have had this baby in the hospital she was absolutely amazing at explaining everything to me and making sure I was comfortable with plans moving forward.

Alisha (I think that is the correct name) was frequently doing scans throughout my pregnancy again absolutely fantastic kept me so calm and comfortable I absolutely loved her.

Kristie was the last woman I seen before leaving the hospital and again she was so friendly and helped me so much as I have very bad anxiety and hate being in public. *Just a little sore note that had completely vanished since becoming a mum*

The whole team who dealt with me were amazing and It's a shame I can't personally thank them all. Thank you so much for keeping me and my baby safe. We owe you everything.
