We have just had our second child at the BGH and the care from the midwifery team was just incredible. I was having a VBAC but luckily the birthing pool was available and I was supported by the midwives to deliver my baby in the water. The birth was everything I had hoped for and I can't thank the staff enough. It was so clear they had read through my preferences and knew what was important to me - I'm so grateful that I was truly listened to and that my decisions were respected.
A special mention and thanks to Helena who was the midwife looking after us during labour and delivery - she was wonderful (calm and full of encouragement but at the same time great at letting us just get on with it!) - we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much for making the birth such a positive experience and bringing our little girl safely into the world!
