"First time Mum, wonderful experience."

Throughout my pregnancy I have been extremely happy with the level of care and service provided by the maternity service at Pontefract General Infirmary. The staff in the ante-natal day unit have always been kind and understanding and I have never been made to feel like a silly first time mum.

The same can also be said for the midewifes in the Friarwood Birth centre whose expert guidance helped me give birth to a healthy baby yesterday. The midwifes who were involved in my care were amazing. They talked me through the whole process and I really don't think I could have done it without them. Even though they had not seen my birth plan, they asked at each stage what I wanted to do and everything went so smoothly. My midwife even eased my mind after the baby was born by accompanying me to another hospital to have sutures and explaining what would happen.

Thank you so much Pontefract Maternity Services, you do and amazing job!
