I would like to highlight the great level of care I received by my midwife in Wishaw University Hospital when I was there to be induced to give birth in May 2018. I had to be at the hospital at 8am to be induced as my waters had broke 3 days before and hadn't went into labour. The day was very long as the gel that was used to try and induce me did not work, I was more to the prenatal ward to wait until I was called for the next process. At around 6pm, I was advised that I might not be taken today and it might be tomorrow. Then at 9pm I was told they I was being taken tonight. Lauren the midwife came for me around 10pm and was taken to my room in the labour ward. Lauren was absolutely fantastic I was a bit nervous as I had been waiting all day, she made me feel at ease from the minute I met her. I was induced via the drip and Lauren informed me of the process and took note of my birth plan and ensured me she would follow my lead re pain relief. From the the minute the process was started until the moment my son was born Lauren was amazing. My son was born the next day. She encouraged me and motivated when the going got tough and I didn't think I could go on any longer. Myself and my son were readmitted to the postnatal ward as my son had lost a lot of weight later that week, and Lauren came round to check on how we were doing, I felt she went above and beyond. I just want to highlight how amazing this midwife is and that the hospital is lucky to have someone like her, I wish everyone had the care experience that Lauren provided.
