"Wonderful care for birth of my baby girl"

Last week, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter in Oban Maternity Unit.

From the first appointment, I felt strongly  supported. No question was too ridiculous and I was actively encouraged to seek help when I needed it. Two spells of reduced movements and the midwives could not have been more amazing (even very late one Saturday night!).

My midwife Kirsty was absolutely wonderful - extremely knowledgeable, caring and she made me feel that she invested very much in my care - I certainly wasn’t just another number on her case load. Every midwife I came into contact with in Oban was absolutely lovely - I cannot praise the Unit highly enough. Women really looking out for other women during, what can be, a worrying time. Just wonderful. 

Scans were regular due to my age and the  gestational size of the baby and the sonographer Lorraine could not have been nicer or more professional.

My baby girl was born with midwives Sheila and Kirsty. Again, no praise high enough for the care and support I received - I am incredibly grateful for the positive experience which was night and day compared with the birth of my twins. You feel quite special giving birth here because you are so well looked after.

Care afterwards has been excellent. I’ve felt very supported with regular visits and good advice. Lots of support and help with breast feeding too which has gotten me off to a great start.

The whole experience, from the first appointment to the last has been fantastic and I feel incredibly lucky. A massive thank you to the Oban midwives!! Forever grateful.
