"I am so grateful to them!"

About: North Down Community Services / Holywood Arches Community Midwives

(as the patient),

I had a really positive experience at Hollywood Arches Midwife care unit with Michelle, Hannah and Rebecca. They were knowledgeable, kind, caring and answered my questions and made me feel calm and positive about birth. They went out of their way to make me feel confident and at ease and explained everything really clearly from blood pressure, baby measurements, what to expect when contractions come, what pain relief works at home, forward leaning positions to try to get baby ready and what to pack in my hospital bag. They also helped make me feel at ease about the different options of monitoring etc if baby overdue. I am so grateful to them!

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to show your appreciation for the care and support that you received while attending the Hollywood Arches Community Midwifery Clinics. It's great to see that the midwives help you prepare well for the birth and it emphasises the importance of Continuity of Midwifery Carer to help develop these trusting, supportive relationships. I will share your very positive comments with the midwives involved in your care.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

many thanks

Claire McGuigan
