"Birth experience"

About: Borders General Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

I recently gave birth in the labour ward at the BGH. I had an amazing midwife called Helena who made me feel at ease the whole time I was in labour. She made sure that I was comfortable with managing my pain and made my birthing experience a whole lot easier. She eventually offered me the opportunity to try the birthing pool which in the end brought on my labour very quickly and my baby boy made his appearance to the world.

Thank you Henry60 for taking the time to feed back to us.

I am delighted you have had such a positive experience during your time within the Maternity Unit. It is lovely to hear that Helena has made you feel at ease and given you options to guide you through your labour.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy and thank you for taking the time to feed back to us.

Kind Regards

Claire
