"Maternity - birth experience"

I just wanted to share positive feedback for both the homebirth team (especially my homebirth allocated midwife Caroline) and also the team (specifically Lucy I think her name was on labour ward at queen Elizabeth maternity).

Caroline was fantastic and so supportive. I loved her no nonsense style as well as her caring manner. She was 10/10.

Unfortunately we didn't get to have a homebirth but we went for induction at QEUH as the Royal was full. After 2 rounds of prostaglandin gel I had my first contraction and my baby arrived very quickly 37 minutes later.

We were rushed into labour ward and greeted by a midwife I believe was called Lucy (I may be wrong as I was a bit woozy). Not only did she keep me calm and deliver my baby in minutes, but she stayed late to discharge me within 6 hours as did some of the other team on the ward after. I think they did this because they knew I wanted a HB and preferred to be at home.

Each and every one of the ladies looking after me did a phenomenal job and I'm very grateful to them all. Thank you! You all made my daughter's birth special and made me feel so at ease even though my daughter was in a bit of a rush! Angels the lot of you! Thank you!!
