"Very happy after a previous traumatic experience"

Following a previous traumatic birth at RPH many years ago I was immensely worried about what my experience would be like the second time round. I was under the care of the consultant and voiced my concerns to him early on. The consultant listened to my worries and reassured me that I would receive the pain relief if and when required this time and was both informative and empathetic when discussing my options. On the actual day I am extremely pleased to report that the birth was such a positive one thanks to the caring and professional conduct of the midwifery team and I now relish my memories of my son’s birth rather than recoil in horror as was the case with my first experience. From start to finish I felt valued as a service user, a mother to be and fellow human being and it has to be said that bedside manner goes a long way as the team were all friendly and understanding. Thank you RPH.
