"Emergency c section and arrival of our baby boy."

I was transferred to Aberdeen Maternity Hospital  from Inverurie as an emergency during the peak of the the pandemic. The thought of being transferred as an emergency and during COVID was terrifying but I was instantly put at ease by the fantastic staff at Aberdeen. 

I arrived at the Labour ward and my care was taken over by Christina, a Spanish midwife. She was reassuring and I felt in good hands. Unfortunately, my baby continued to be distressed and I was taken for an emergency c section. The Senior Charge Midwife, Eilish and Christina made me feel very safe and comfortable prior to going to Theatre. Christina stayed with me throughout the c section, recovery and on my subsequent transfer to the Ashgrove ward. She was fantastic and is a credit to her profession.

My care in Theatre was great. The nursing staff, David, Sharlene, Hannah and Nicole were all lovely and I felt well cared for. Dr Jabber and Dr Stickle also made myself and my husband feel at ease and kept us informed throughout the c section.

Olivia and Amanda were the main midwives who looked after me in the ward. They were lovely and took the time to check on me and my baby boy frequently. This was greatly appreciated as my husband couldn't be with me or could we have any visitors which was hard. 

We cant thank the staff at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital enough, you all do a wonderful job!
