"Bolton Maternity"

About: Royal Bolton Hospital / Maternity care

I visited maternity triage Friday 26th May with reduced movements. Being 39+4 pregnant and my blood pressure being high they took no risks and admitted me and induced me. Throughout the whole process of being induced I felt like I was being well looked after, every single midwife, doctor, nurse or health care assistant took the time to know my name before approaching me which made me feel at home and not just a number to a bed. Once I was ready to go down to the delivery suit the midwife was amazing. They helped me stay calm, kept my husband calm and was a great talker which put us at ease. The birth was a little complicated and our newborn son ended up in neonatal for over 24 hours in which the staff in that department where lovely and accommodating. Helped me get breastfeeding established and just very supportive. Whilst I was on the ward with my little boy recovering the midwives provided more support on breastfeeding and were just truly fantastic. Having the kind of experience I had at Bolton makes me feel good that if I have any more children that my experience will be the same. I couldn't recommend Bolton hospital highly enough especially every single person I came into contact within Maternity.
