Excellent ante and post natal care

Posted By Evelyn84

"Excellent ante and post natal care"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Maternity unit

(as a service user),

We have an excellent experience during and after the delivery of our son by c-section recently. Having had a previous c-section and complications during pregnancy, the staff we engaged with were outstanding at guiding us through the process this time around. We felt well-informed, respected, and the midwifery team and consultants worked with us throughout. We particularly wanted to mention the care of Dr Wilson, who was encouraging, supportive and really helped make the last few weeks of our pregnancy a positive experience. The delivery and in-hospital team were excellent too.

Dear Evelyn84

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. It's wonderful to hear that your journey through pregnancy, birth and the days that followed felt safe, supported and positive -especially given the challenges you had faced previously.

I am truly pleased that our midwifery and obstetric teams were able to guide you with care, clarity and compassion throughout. Your kind words about Dr Wilson and the wider team mean a great deal. I will make sure your appreciation is passed onto them; feedback like yours really reinforces the impact of their dedication.

We're delighted to hear that the care you received helped make the final few weeks of your pregnancy and birth a reassuring and empowering experience.

Thank you again for sharing your story, and warm congratulations on the birth of your son.

If there is anything else you would like us to know or if you would like to help shape maternity care going forward please consider joining our maternity voices partnership:
