"Excellent care"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Maternity unit

(as a service user),

I recently had my baby boy at Larbert. I would like to take the opportunity to say what excellent care I experienced throughout my whole pregnancy, labour and during the immediate postnatal period. 

I was under the care of the Juniper team and saw my named midwives (Debbie and Claire) for my antenatal and postnatal care. Both were very warm, caring, reassuring and professional and helped make my first pregnancy a positive experience.

In labour ward, I ended up with a kiwi cup delivery but was made to feel at ease by Danni, my midwife, and by the medical staff. On ward 8, I found the nursery nurses (Lesley-Ann in particular) very helpful in establishing breastfeeding, which is still going great.

All in all, I experienced excellent care from every single member of staff I met. See you in a couple of years for the next one!

Dear Opes

Congratulations on the birth of your little boy, what a wonderful time for you and your family.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your lovely comments as I know this will be a very busy time for you.

It is heartening to hear that becoming a mum for the first time was such a great experience through-out and that the team made such a positive impact with their care.

It is brilliant to know that Lesley-Ann helped support you through the early days of breast feeding and more so to know that it is still going so well!

I will make sure everyone mentioned gets a copy of your posting as I know they will be over the moon to read it.

I wish you lots of joy, fun and happiness with your wee boy and we look forward to seeing you again!

Kindest regards

Gail
