"Can’t thank you all enough "

Your Review: I was booked in for a next day induction by my consultant, who had given me brilliant advice and assistance throughout my difficult pregnancy. I was induced due to how ill I was with an Ulcerative Colitis flare. The induction ward was so busy that we couldn’t start in a private room. The staff were amazing, so helpful and friendly though and my experience was made so much easier by their help. The student midwife and Midwife that were looking after me were both amazing and attentive. The student midwife will make a brilliant midwife, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to be looking after me. In the delivery suite I was assisted by many people. All of you were amazing and the birth of my daughter went really well. I was so well looked after! Everyone’s attitude was so supportive and positive. Unfortunately having my waters broken was unusually extremely painful (people I know said this wasn’t painful for them, but it was for me) and my contractions weren’t monitored correctly due to a cracked monitoring unit, but these weren’t big issues as the birth went so well. The midwife and student midwife knew that I was at the pushing stage even though there was this problem. Once on the ward I was also taken care of so well. A midwife on the night shift helped me with breastfeeding and checked on my daughter regularly in the night. The midwife looking after me during the day also sorted out and took me for my COVID vaccination and was so lovely and attentive. All the staff on the ward were great and so helpful. Everyone was so busy, but made me feel supported and at ease and couldn’t do enough for me. From my booking appointment to my discharge, everyone that I saw was so lovely, I can’t thank you all enough.
