I was transferred on two occasions from the rvi after having both of my sons, I wanted to give birth at Hexham but has to be induced on both occasions. I came back to Hexham to get support and help with having a newborn and breastfeeding. The support I received with my breastfeeding was outstanding, I struggled for a while and was exhausted, the nurses said just to ring the buzzer anytime I wanted to feed and they would help me. I was so exhausted from feeding they even took my little one away for a few hours. My sons were both greedy and felt like I rang my buzzer every hour, nothing was a problem. I felt very well looked after and spoils. The food isn't great but the service makes up for it. They let me stay as long as I wanted to.
"Lovely unit"
