Emergency c section

"Emergency c section"

About: Borders General Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

I went to my normal midwife appointment to sort out my birthing plan but I then found  out I had pre eclampsia. I was sent over to the BGH. When I got there the staff couldn’t of been anymore helpful to me. It was all very scary as I didn’t have a clue what was happening. I was only 36 weeks and 3 days so I wasn’t ready just yet for baby to be coming. The midwife try to induce me on the Tuesday and come the Wednesday morning baby wasn’t for moving so a section it was. It was all a blur to me I was just so tired and groggy. I finally met my little girl who was being looked after by SCBU and I got her back the next morning. Over all I spent ten days in hospital due to little lady getting jaundice losing to much weight and not feeding. But finally we got home. The whole time being in ward 17 the staff kept me going when I had my moments of weakness due to being sleep deprived. I couldn’t fault them from start to finish and still can’t thank them enough for all the done for me. But my little girl is now 7 weeks old and is filling out very nicely. Keep up the good work ward 17 BGH

Thank you Babygirl87 for sharing such meaningful feedback.

I’m glad you felt the staff were so helpful on admission as this can be very stressful and quite scary for new mum’s. It is important you feel well informed and supported throughout the process.

We try our best to provide person cantered care for our new families - no matter how long or short their stay - it’s important to us that you feel welcome and cared for and I’m glad you felt supported through this period.

I will share this with the staff involved - it means so much to us all that you have taken the time to feed back.

Ihope you are settling into life as a new family and lovely to hear your little girl is thriving!

Kind regards

Claire
