What a wonderful birthing experience we all had at the birthing centre! The staff were so caring and attentive and really treated us as a family and took our individual needs into account, making our wishes feel valued and listened to. This was my first baby and I am so happy he was able to come into the world in such a lovely, calm environment surrounded by truly caring and compassionate professionals. The birthing rooms are wonderful and the pool made me feel really at ease, I loved the lighting and the relaxing atmosphere, aromatherapy and having my own bathroom was brilliant. I was allowed immediate skin to skin contact and support breast feeding my baby, all helping to bond and also my partner was allowed skin to skin soon after birth which he was so happy about. Cannot praise the staff enough who reassured and supported us through the birth and afterwards. We felt we were in safe hands and that our baby was well looked after, as was I. Have already recommended to pregnant friends. Thank you
