"Birth Centre-Thank you midwives!"

I would like to thank the countless midwives at Royal Preston Birth Centre who made my first birth a seamless and empowering process. From the encouraging words, massages, constantly carrying me to the bathroom, feeding me water, working in tandem with my husband, staying by me in the pool- your patience with me and support will not go forgotten. It was only after my extremely long hours of labour when I finally held my beautiful daughter in my arms and looked around that I realised that everything was adhered to in my birth plan. I also desperately wanted a water birth and you helped us achieve this.

The after care we received whilst we stayed at the Birth Centre was even more incredible- we must have asked dozens of questions (which seem silly when I think back now!) and everybody was more than happy to help- plus our daughter receiving plenty of cuddles and affection from everyone has only made our first memories as new parents more wonderful. My husband and I went home feeling confident and ready (as you can be). My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to write this sooner. Thank you!

If there were ever real life super heroes- it would be midwives. You are all doing an amazing job. Thank you
