Sadly whilst on holiday I suffered a miscarriage at 12 weeks and 5 days. I had to visit a hospital abroad, which was a very daunting experience. I called Ayrshire Maternity Outpatients to ask for advice and was relieved to hear the friendly voice of Laura who reassured and calmed me. She contacted EPAS the next morning for me passing on my notes meaning I didn’t have to explain anything on arrival which was a relief. I was met by Heather and Jacquie in EPAS who were fantastic. Their kind, caring support put me at ease. They listened patiently and answered all my questions. I can’t thank the staff at AMU enough for everything they did for us at such a sad, distressful time. The staff did all they could and it was comforting to be met by someone who understood and empathised.
