"Cannot thank all the staff enough"

I recently gave birth at UHW. I cannot thank the staff across the maternity unit enough for all of the care I received. I firstly went to triage and was seen by Ruth, who made me feel completely at ease thanks to her bubbly nature. Ruth assessed me and explained all of my options clearly to my partner and I and helped us decide what to do next which we were very thankful for. I was shown to AMU and handed over to Charlie.

Charlie looked after me through my labour and birth and I am so thankful to have been cared for by her, she made the entire experience so positive and one I feel very grateful for! She was calm and really helped talk me through when things progressed. Emma was caring for me during tea breaks. Emma also kept the whole experience really calm and positive and helped me stay distracted during my contractions.

I was moved to the postnatal ward and all of the staff who I seen were really helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. In particular, Gayle who helped me with breastfeeding support and really took a lot of time to explain and offer advice when I was establishing breastfeeding.

Natalie, Laura and Larisa were all really helpful during our stay!
