"Amazing midwives"

So yesterday my waters broke and although this was baby 3, I’ve never experienced this before. From the minute I went into triage, until I was taken into the labour ward I was made feel at ease.. now I can’t remember the midwives name who helped in triage but she was fantastic! Aisling was a student midwife who from the moment I got taken into the labour room made me feel at ease... she greeted me with a huge smile (underneath her mask, but I could tell she was smiling) she kept me entertained and relaxed! I know this is the job of all midwives but for a student midwife who was not long out of uni, she was fantastic! She was great with my sarcastic husband and even though I was pretty out of it, there was never any silence. She continued to keep him distracted!

We weren’t fortunate enough for baby to come whilst aisling was on shift, baby came 5 minutes after she finished, however we were out in the amazing hands of Karen another student midwife! Who was amazing she was only in the door 45 mins and had helped deliver our little chubby bundle of joy... the other midwife in the room, julie I think her name was she was amazing and I’m pretty sure she deserves a medal for her hands alone allowing me to squeeze them! Each and every midwife I encountered were amazing! But these 3 I remembered names for were just fantastic and i would love people to be put at ease the same way I was...

With all this covid-19 going on, these midwives have a tough enough job and they never let anything phase them! Such a credit to your team!
