"A massive thank you - midwives"

About: Pinderfields General Hospital / Maternity care

I would like to say a massive thank you to the midwives working at pinderfields. I think that it is evident that the department is under staffed and that everyone is run off their feet however they still made myself and my partner feel looked after.

I had to be incudeced, after 24 hours I was told I was the next on the list to move to the labour ward, a further 24 hours later and I still hadn’t moved. At 8.30pm when the night shifts had started two midwives were looking for me and my partner to move and from then everything was perfect! We were looked after so well and I was discharged with a little boy at 11.30am the following day.

My midewife was amazing, she made me whole labour process as easy as it could be and put my partner at ease (I think we learnt each other’s life stories).

Congratulations on the birth of your son.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments even with a new born!

Your lovely comments will be passed onto the staff involved and I am pleased to read that you and your partner were well looked after.

It can be a daunting time for anyone and I am pleased to read that staff made your stay a positive one.

Thank you again and I wish you and your new family all the best for the future.

Kind regards
