"Labour & Birth"

My water broke & I called into maternity triage because at a recent appointment baby had been identified as possibly breach.

I was told to come in for assessment, where I was seen very quickly by lovely midwives. All was well & I was sent home to wait for labour, failing which I'd booked for an induction the following morning.

Contractions started that evening and we headed into the low risk ward. I was assessed and assigned a student midwife (who comes with a fully trained midwife supervising).

My midwives were brilliant, we were never left alone but nothing felt intrusive. We also had contact with the on call doctor and student doctor, who was very friendly.

The atmosphere was great and very supportive, resulting in a good labour experience.
