"Entire pregnancy and labour experience has been excellent."

About: Borders General Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

We had a planned c section due to our baby being breach, our antenatal care had been superb up to this date despite not always meeting with the same midwife. 

My waters broke in early February.  I was very apprehensive about the labour knowing our baby was a footling breach. We arrived at labour ward and the team couldn’t have been more efficient yet keeping us calm and informed the whole way. Susie, the midwife in theatre was great support to myself and husband, surgeon Marianne and the team were excellent and I felt in safe hands the entire time! 

The team in labour ward were all faultless, in particular Roma and Christina who took excellent care of us all. 

Since getting home we have had excellent follow up care, Lynsay has been very supportive and easy to speak too. Overall our entire pregnancy and labour experience has been excellent.

Thank you Lpate for taking the time to share your experience within the Maternity Unit.

I am delighted to hear you found the team efficient and they kept you both calm and informed at what can be a very stressful time. It is nice to hear you have been pleased with the care you received from beginning to end - I will share this with the staff as this is so important to them!

I hope you are settling into life with your new baby at home and thank you again for taking the time to feed back as I know you will be a very busy lady!

Kind Regards,

Claire
