At the end of November my waters broke 1 week early, I phoned the triage at the RAH and spoke to a very kind midwife on the phone who suggested I come up and get checked. Being a first time mum I was extremely anxious and worried about labour and delivery. From arriving at triage everyone was extremely lovely and kind putting my mind in ease. One midwife Marisa explained everything to me exceptionally well and chatted with myself and my partner until a bed came up in labour ward.
On arriving to labour ward I was looked after by midwifes Laura and Jemma and Gael on nightshift. Again the care and compassion showed to myself my partner and my mum was exceptional especially at a time you feel very vulnerable. I was kept fully updated on my progression in labour and all questions I had were answered honestly and professionally. I will be forever grateful to Jemma and Gael ensuring my son was delivered safely into this world.
I was then moved to ward 31 and Chelsea and Jenna on nightshift, Lesley, Victoria, Arleen the MCA and Jayne HCSW took great care of me and my son. Nothing I asked for was too much.
Being a nurse myself I was extremely anxious being in hospital and scared of the unknown of becoming a new mum but all the staff above made my experience truly special. These members of staff are an asset to the NHS and the midwifery team at the RAH.
