"Amazing Twin Birth"

About: Darent Valley Hospital / Maternity

My wife had an elected C-Section at DVH on 11/1 and I wanted to tell everyone how amazing this place was from our first scan until we were discharged with our beautiful twin girls.

The scans were all great and we thought my wife went into preterm labour at 32 weeks so she had to stay in for 2 nights and again they were so helpful and told us exactly what was going on.

Anyway...we made it until our elected date and the experience of my wife’s C-Section was just so good. We had a C-Section recovery course 2 days before where we were educated on what to expect which was really helpful and others have said their hospital didn’t do.

We got to the hospital at 8am and we were in first, the midwife was so nice and when we went into surgery everything was so calm and chilled, everyone introduced themselves and the radio was playing (Leona Lewis you cut me open and I keep bleeding...not sure if this was a joke ??) my wife was reassured the whole way throught and the twins were out within the hour.

It was 2 weeks ago now and every medical person who has checked my wife’s scar has said what a nice job they have done.

Thank you DVH!

Congratulations on your new twin girls, what a wonderful start to 2018. We have passed your kind words onto the Maternity Department and do apologise for the unfortunate tune being played on the radio at the time of surgery.

With our best wishes
