Maternity service

"Maternity service"

About: Borders General Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

After a not so pleasant induction (another health board) with my first child, I was keen to avoid this time around. From day 1, I felt the maternity service was woman centred and I felt listened to and completely in control. When the time came, I had a very positive experience when my son arrived with a speedy but natural delivery. Unfortunately I had to return to hospital when I was postnatal as I developed an infection. Again, the maternity service was extremely efficient and the staff were so kind and knowledgeable. There are too many names to mention here but I can't thank both the community and hospital team enough. You are wonderful
