"Being a patient in labour"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Maternity Care

(as the patient),

I have just recently given birth at Wishaw University Hospital. 

My waters had ruptured at home with meconium I attended maternity triage and was quickly assessed and processed before transferring to labour ward. 

upon arrival to labour was I was greeted by a Student Midwife in a calming friendly manner and Midwife  joined shortly after. 

I had been induced and labour processed quickly. I wanted to make them  aware that I appreciated all their help and support. 

K is a credit to UWS and I am sure she will transition into a competent Midwife with all her patients appreciating her compassionate care. 

A you don't know how much I was focusing on your supportive words of encouragement, thank you! 

anesthetise H thanks for being so calm and cool it's appreciated. 

During my stay in the labour ward I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of student midwifes. You are all so confident and were great help supporting me so thanks.

C (UWS) thanks for showing my husband how to swaddle our little girl.

Maternity care assistant you guys rock! Clearly the backbone of the labour ward. I hope your all appreciated as much as you should be. 

My overall experience has been a pleasant one and it's down to you all. 

So big thank you!! 

I'll definitely be recommending Wishaw University Hospital and I'll plan to come back for baby number two! :)
