"Labour & aftercare"

I would just like to thank all the staff at wishaw university hospital from the staff in ward 23 for my induction to the labour ward staff and the staff of ward 22 for my aftercare.

I was induced in mid November and everyone I came across was amazing. My daughter was delivered 3 days later at 01.18 and I wish I could remember my midwifes name as she put me at ease, reassured me throughout and made sure I had the most positive birthing experience possible. I would never be able to thank her enough and I am so grateful.

Unfortunately my daughter became jaundice and we were readmitted to the transitional care unit a further 3 days later to stay overnight.

I was so relieved my husband was able to stay with me that evening. The midwife on night shift that night in the unit was amazing, she recognised that I had an infection and held my hand through an awful cervical exam while making sure both me and my daughter both received the care we needed. 

Everyone I came across from sonographers to registrars and drs could not do enough for us during the whole experience but these two woman i will always be so grateful for. The staff do a wonderful job under stressful conditions.
