Becoming a grannie

"Becoming a grannie"

About: Princess Alexandra Hospital / Maternity

(as a relative),

Last month my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild. PAH has had some bad press but I must say a big thank you to all the staff involved in caring for my daughter.

There were a few scary moments however due to the experience, calm manner, control and good communication during labour and delivery my daughter had confidence in the midwives helping her and was told exactly what she had to do and when to do it.

I would like to say thankyou to midwife Trisha and trainee midwife Rebekah for all there help, without them I am sure my little granddaughter would not be here.

Being a grannie is the best gift in the world and it is the most amazing feeling! Thankyou again please keep up the good work I don't know what we would do without you!
