A great labour experience

Posted By Aine052

"A great labour experience"

About: Maternity / Labour Ward / Delivery Suite

(as the patient),

I had a great experience as a first time mum (& dad) within Ulster Maternity Hospital my stay lasted 2 days in mid May.

My midwives (& 3rd year student midwife) were fantastic & facilitated patient led care at all times, I felt very informed & appreciated the care & support provided. I definitely chatted the ears of them,  I think I really loved the sound of my own voice after about 12 hours on gas and air. 

Our consultant doctors Naomi & Peter ensured we had a safe delivery and were very professional from entering EOU right through to the delivery stage, this provided a lot of reassurance that we were in safe hands and helped me enjoy/trust the process. 

We have had our baby girl for a little time now & are besotted. Thanks for a great labour experience, hope to return in a number of years.
