Worth their weight in gold

Posted By NMP91

"Worth their weight in gold"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Critical Care Unit / Medical High Dependancy Unit University Hospital Wishaw / Maternity Care

(as a service user),

I recently gave birth to my daughter.

After giving birth I suffered a PPH and lost 40% of my bloody and had to receive blood transfusions, fluids etc and ended up in the High Dependency Unit at UHW. It was a horrible time and with the help of everyone doctors, anaesthetists, midwives, nurses I’m still here to tell the time. The aftercare was second to none as I even had the amazing people come to visit me after their shifts were over and even my own community midwife come to visit me in hospital on her day off. And any time of day or night they were there for me if I needed to cry they sat with me; comforted me, nothing was ever too much.  

For the rest of my life I will be forever grateful to those people and in my eyes they are all angels and worth their weight in gold.

THANK YOU!
