"Before and after my daughter was born"

About: Royal Oldham Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

There hasn’t been a day where my midwives and their colleagues haven’t been there for me.

My labour day was traumatising. It was a scary experience cause it was first pregnancy and didn’t know what I was expecting due to being induced the staffs looked after me throughout. After my daughter was born I was kept in hospital over a week. I weren’t too well, lost loads of blood due to second degree tear an needed blood transfusion etc. After being discharged from hospital while at home I was struggling with my stitches/wound that opened up and was sore couldn’t really carry my child cause of pain. My midwives were there as soon as I rung up - someone would always pop by if I needed them. So really I can’t thank them enough.

Also 1 of my midwives has really made a massive difference to my wound after introducing me to a product called silver nitrate. It’s a life safer, I tried so many methods to ease the aches an pains but that product was a life safer. I have completely healed didn’t take that long to resume back to my normal activities, I’m just really grateful for what they have done.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about our maternity service. I am sorry to hear that you needed to stay on our ward for a week following the birth. I hope you are recovering well at home. I am glad to hear that you were well supported by the midwives as we always strive to provide an excellent service to our women and families. I will share your feedback with the perinatal team as I know that they will be pleased to hear it.

Once again thank you for sharing your story
