Such a positive and memorable experience

"Such a positive and memorable experience"

About: Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary / Maternity care

(as the patient),

Early October 2025, we were delighted to welcome our daughter into the world. The professionalism, compassion, and dedication shown by the midwifery team at DGRI were truly outstanding.

Throughout labour, the midwives ensured we were kept fully informed, providing clear updates and taking time to answer all our questions with professionalism and care. They always made sure we understood the information shared, which gave us great reassurance during the process.

During our stay in the birthing suite, the support provided to my wife and our newborn was exceptional. The midwives were attentive and caring throughout the first night, ensuring both mother and baby were comfortable and well looked after. They completed all necessary checks diligently while maintaining a warm and positive attitude.

We could not have asked for better care. The entire team provided top-quality support, and we are deeply grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication.

Thank you to the DGRI midwifery team for helping make the birth of our daughter such a positive and memorable experience.
