"First Class Maternity Service"

About: Royal Stoke University Hospital

I went to the MAU for what I thought would be a quick check up after becoming quite swollen. It was mainly for peace of mind and reassurance but I was very quickly diagnosed with severe pre eclampsia and I was admitted to the Delivery Suite for one to one monitoring. I was kept in over night but unfortunately my blood pressure could not be stabilised and my baby girl was born the following day by emergency C Section at only 31 weeks gestation and a tiny 2lb 4oz. My daughter went on to spend 6 weeks in the Neo Natal Unit and is now home and thriving. I am extremely greatful to the midwives, doctors and consultants on the MAU and Delivery Suite for their quick diagnosis, care and professionalism. Without their expertises my babies life could have been at grave risk and I feel so thankful and lucky to the staff that I have my beautiful baby daughter. I don’t think it is possible to get better health care than what I received on the MAU and Delivery Suite and I would particularly like the midwives who looked after me on the Delivery Suite to have some recognition. I cannot recommend or praise the maternity care I received highly enough their quick intervention saved my babies life words can not express how thankful I am.
