"good care"

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital / Maternity care (Ward 31)

(as a service user),

"My husband passed away from cancer after battling with it for just two weeks. He passed in December aged 36, and I was 6 months pregnant with our second child. As I was preparing for birth I was full of all emotions, apprehensive about how things would go but also grieving at the same time. Still in shock but still grieving I entered the labour ward in March.  They broke my waters early morning. The student nurse named : Janet who came on the dayshift was amazing.  Her mentor was also outstanding.  

All I remember was Janet’s voice guiding me through labour, willing me on.  After baby came I unfortunately began haemorrhaging and it was Janet who raised the alarm.  

Janet was confident and so so capable in her skills that I know she will be a fantastic midwife very soon.

thanks again Janet x

Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Coming into hospital while still grieving the loss of your husband must have been such an emotional and difficult time. I am glad to hear of the fantastic care you received from Janet and her mentor and how this helped you.
