I cannot recommend highly enough the Truro Birth Centre and Treliske Delivery Suite. I started off in the birth centre where everything was very relaxed and every staff member was very kind and accommodating which really helped me relax in labour. Then when I had complications right at the end of my labour and had to be transferred to delivery, the staff maintained my dignity during the transfer (literally shutting off parts of the corridor during the transfer because I was so worried about being seen haha) and stayed with and supported me from the transfer and through the rest of my delivery in the delivery suite, making sure I knew everything that was happening and that I was comfortable every step of the way.
The postnatal ward wasn’t as good as delivery but I think that was because they were really busy and to be honest me and my baby weren’t a priority, we were just there for observations. However during the night if I needed a midwife they were there as quick as they could be! The breastfeeding specialists were also fabulous and helped me fix my issues with feeding my baby and thanks to them we are both doing really well!
