Pregnancy & Labour.

"Pregnancy & Labour."

About: Royal Alexandra Hospital (Paisley)

(as the patient),

The staff at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, 31B Maternity ward. 

Absolutely fantastic, they went above and beyond to support myself and my partner with the  birth of our son. 

Was a planned C section as baby was breech, when being scanned prior to C section, baby had turned. We were then offered the choice to have the C section or return in 24 hours to be induced. As we wasn't local to the hospital we returned for the induction. After 6 lots of prostin still no sign of labour. An ARM was done and waters were broken. Our 3-4 day stay in Paisley turned in to an 8 day stay. 

Staff were really understanding and like I stated above went above and beyond for us. Trainee midwives also top notch and have some big boots to fill when the time comes. Can't thank the staff enough.

Hi Pam,

Please do share my story with the staff, they really did provide us with a superb level of care and support.

We are all doing great and have quickly settled back in to a routine.
