"A fantastic team"

About: Continuity of Midwifery Carer Service / Emerald Team Craigavon Area Hospital / Maternity care Maternity care / Delivery suite

(as the patient),

Cannot thank this team enough, especially my dedicated midwife Sarah! Right from the first appointment to the last, she put me at ease and supported and guided me to the end. Although she was not able to be present at my birth she was still a very vital part of getting me through the entire process of welcoming my little girl.

I also want to thank those who supported me through a tough labour and delivery including Gillian, Suzanne and both students present. Also the obstetrician, paediatricians, and all the other staff that were so quick to respond during delivery when we needed them! Apologies for not remembering names! I was very much in shock and still feeling the effects of the pain meds for days after. 

I cannot forget Vicky!! Absolutely fantastic, loved seeing her in prenatal appointments. She also done some reflexology before birth and was so relaxing, she done a fantastic job! Her positivity and caring support is key in this programme. 

I hope there is another meet up day as due to work I was unable to attend any! Would be good to see the team again and show them how big my daughter has gotten! 

The team in the postnatal ward are also absolutely fantastic! They were all so reassuring, kind and a credit to their team. Even those not directly involved in my care were phenomenal, even looking after baby while I took a shower. 

Thank you to all 💗
