"Pregnancy and planned c section"

About: Airdrie Community Maternity Maternity Care / Labour Ward Maternity Care / Maternity Triage Maternity Care / Postnatal (Ward 22)

(as a service user),

April 2024 I gave birth to my 2nd baby boy via planned c section... right from the very beginning of my pregnancy I was put on a red pathway for various reasons and I always felt listened to. I had quite a traumatic 1st birth and was so nervous and anxious my community midwife catina was so helpful and went above and beyond,  I also had to attend triage for various reasons and remember midwives kaitlyn and Susan who were also amazing and nothing was ever a bother!!

My consultant Dr Jarvie right from the get go made me feel like I was the one in control she listened to my concerns and supported  my wishes from having a cervical suture to then a planned section and cervical suture removal at the same time... this remarkable lady even came and delivered my baby even tho it wasn't her theatre shift because I was so anxious and asked if she would be present i will never be able to sing her praises enough... I honestly cannot fault wishaw general maternity staff they are all angels who are constantly ran off their feet but never complain i genuinely believe I wouldn't have my two boys if it wasn't for these guys and their exceptional care!

Dear Jem86,

Thank you for sharing your experience in the Maternity ward.

I am delighted to hear that you felt listened to throughout your second pregnancy and that when you needed to attend triage, you felt supported and reassured. Dr Jarvie sounds like she was a wonderful, calming influence for you and I have no doubt this feeling of control will have been very reassuring through what I am sure was a worrying time.

I will ensure that your kind words are passed on to the whole team who I am sure will get a real boost hearing your feedback.

I hope you are both keeping well.

Best Wishes,

Jenni
