"Midwife team"

I spoke with Gillian today from the midwife team. I have contracted Covid and I am 36 weeks pregnant. My anxiety is really impacting on me and I am deeply concerned about the well-being of my baby.

I explained to Gillian that I felt unhappy at a previous conversation as I felt my concerns weren’t addressed. After speaking with Gillian I feel so much more relaxed, informed, listened to and know exactly what to do should I feel extremely unwell whether pregnancy or Covid related. Gillian ensured I had emergency contact numbers and re assured me that I would still be seen and attended to should it be required despite having Covid.

I was told the day before to avoid maternity and to stay home a day protect the community. Which I completely agree with and am aware of, however I was left worrying what to do if I went into labour early as my baby is breech. Thank you to all the staff who have spoken with me today. Nothing is ever too much trouble, you are all absolutely lovely and definitely in the right job.

I previously had an operation in September 2020 to remove my Fallopian tube and ectopic pregnancy and even then the staff were just as wonderful. Absolute angels all of you.
