"The birth of my son."

Boxing Day a couple years back my son was born. It was a very traumatic birth as my placenta erupted at home and I was rushed to Ninewells hospital in Dundee.  I don’t remember much but I do remember a midwife. I think her name was Rebecca Swanston. As I was bleeding heavily and the nurses seemed to be running around, she came over and checked me and called for me to get an emergency c-section.  They said that they just got my son out just in time.

She was amazing and really looked after me the following days until I came home with my baby. My son is really healthy and happy. I’ve always intended in sharing this story and would love for her to know how much I appreciated it all and that I still remember how fantastic she was.

Thank you so much for looking after us.
