Birth experience

About: Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Lothian Birth Centre Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France / Maternity care

(as a relative),

My wife and I were at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary as she was in labour about to give birth to our son. We were there over a period of 4 days, and everyone there, from those working in triage, ward 119, Labour Ward, and Birth Centre, were absolutely excellent. Just incredibly kind, informative, compassionate, and encouraging. Even when things looked like they weren't going to go to plan, we felt informed and cared for at all times. Truly a credit to the NHS, just excellent all round.
