I couldn't be more greatful for the midwifes at peterhead maturnety unit when I had my second daughter in june this year. I had a very long and traumatic birth with my first at Aberdeen back in 2017 which included having a third degree tear and not being able to breastfeed so I was very worried about it happening again but my experience this time couldn't of been further from that.
When I got there the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. I was asked if I minded having a student midwife helping with the birth and of course I didn't and I'm so glad I didnt because I couldnt of asked for anyone better. She was amazing and so caring there is no way I could of done it without her, she was there for me from the moment she got there to the day I was signed over to the health visitor. She was born to be a midwife.
My partner was also very well looked after and kept topped up with biscuits and coffee. Once my little girl was here I got all the support I needed to breastfeed my daughter and after that if I needed them they were there day or night. Thanks to the the amazing staff I came away with another gorgeous girl and feeling so happy with how things went. I can't thank everyone at Peterhead enough for everything they did before, during and after the birth of my little girl.
