"Thank you so much you are beautiful souls"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Maternity unit Psychological therapies / Maternity and Neonatal Psychological Intervention Services (MNPI)

(as a parent/guardian),

Spent over a week in hospital after PPROM (Preterm Prelabour Rupture of Membranes) and multiple episodes of bleeding, which in the end caused me to labour at 21+6 weeks. The staff during that time were absolutely lovely and positive during my stay except from one of the consultants who made an already traumatic time even harder before it needed to be.

I am especially grateful for the two midwives who looked after me during my labour and after the loss of my little boy - Susanne on dayshift and Chloe on the night shift. You ladies showed myself and my partner compassion like I never could have imagined, during the worst hours of our lives you managed to keep your composure and advocate for me and my little boy when everything else seemed so hopeless. I will forever be thankful that God sent you both our way that day.  

Thank you so much you are beautiful souls.

Dear Julybaby25

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I am so sorry to hear of your recent loss, please accept my condolences.

I am sorry to hear that you had difficulty with a member of medical staff. I will share this feedback with the Clinical Director for Obstetrics and Associate Medical Director for Women and Children's.

I am however, pleased to read the lovely feedback about the other staff that you met, especially the midwives Suzanne and Chloe and to hear of the compassion and care they provided to you, your partner and little boy.

I will be sure to share this information with them and pass on your thanks.

Thank you again for your feedback at this difficult time.

Kind regards

Jennifer Szotek

Senior Midwife/Department Manager, WC Bereavement Team.
