"Journey with an amazing midwife"

About: NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde / Community Maternity Care

(as the patient),

Throughout my pregnancy and postnatal period, I had the privilege of being cared for by an incredible midwife who made my entire experience so positive and reassuring. From the very first appointment, she made me feel listened to, valued, and supported.

During my pregnancy, there were times when I felt anxious or uncertain, but she was always there to answer my questions—no matter how small—and provide me with the information and reassurance I needed. She took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood each step along the way. Her calm and caring nature made me feel at ease, and I always left my appointments feeling confident and well cared for.

Even after my baby was born, she continued to be a vital source of support. During my postnatal appointments, she checked in on both my physical recovery and my emotional well-being. She offered advice on caring for my baby and always made me feel like I was doing a great job, which was so reassuring as a new mum.

Having a midwife who was so dedicated, kind, and knowledgeable made my journey into motherhood a truly positive one. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided to both me and my baby. Her support made all the difference, and I’ll always look back on this time with gratitude and fondness.

Thank you for everything Lauren!
