I was transferred to Best Start 3 days before my due date.
When my waters broke 2 days early I was without an assigned midwife.
We used the on call mobile number and was met with one most amazing people on this earth. Gillian came to our house and put me at ease straight away. She followed us to the hospital, could not have been more attentive and even stayed over her shift to see the birth of our daughter. She has then visited us at home multiple times, is always available to call and text and nothing is too much trouble to her. She is a credit to the NHS and the pilot scheme.
My only criticism is that the community breastfeeding support team have called twice and despite my request for support they are reluctant to visit me to provide this.
