Could not be without ward 3 and the amazing staff

"Could not be without ward 3 and the amazing staff"

About: Dr Gray's Hospital / Maternity care

(as the patient),

I was admitted to Dr grays with pregnancy complications at 37 weeks. I was advised I would be admitted until the birth of my baby. The staff couldn't have helped me more during my stay always checking I was ok and had everything I needed. I was induced at 38 weeks and 4 days and the whole procedure was explained on a number of occasions. During the early stages of my labour the midwife and her student (Ashley & Amy) were amazing and reassured me. After a long 8 hours I had to have an emergency c section which caused me a lot of anxiety and I wouldn't have been able to get through this without the support of a very special midwife and her 2nd year student. Cilla played a very important role through out my whole pregnancy as was my community midwife and was also at the birth of my little boy. The care Emma and Cilla gave me and my little boy through the night was amazing and answered any questions I had and gave me advice that I will never forget. 

I truly believe Moray could not be without ward 3 and the amazing staff.

Dear Hailey,

Firstly,congratulations on the birth of your son and thank you for taking time to provide feedback for the staff of ward 3.

I am so glad that you have felt supported during your pregnancy and birth, I know that the midwives will be glad to hear your feedback.

It is very distressing and stressful to be told that you require to have an emergency caesarean section after having been in labour for many hours, I am pleased that the midwives were able to help you in a way that enabled you to cope with this decision.

I will ensure that all of the midwives that you have mentioned are aware of your feedback.

I wish you all the best for the future.

Warmest regards

Lynn Cameron
