"Ward 23 - Miscarriage"

I sadly suffered a MMC in July 2017 and was admitted to ward 23 from the maternity unit.

The nurses provided me with so much support and gave me time to consider my options and made me aware of help that was available to me.

I was booked in for a ERPC 2 days later which does involve having to wait for a slot in Emergency theatre to become available. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink but after waiting a while I was hooked up to a drip to keep me going. The nurses communicated with me often and in the end the doctor went down the the theatre and made a space for me to go in for my treatment as the wait was unfair.

I was so scared but the anaesthetists were so reassuring and when I woke up I was very upset and the nurses were so supportive. They let me go home when I had eaten and been to the toilet but gave me lots of advice and reminded me of where to go for support.

The NHS have been very good to me in my time of need.
