"Compassionate care"

I had an appointment today at the early pregnancy unit at the Ulster hospital. I was first brought in by Brooke, nursing student, and appointment led by Staff nurse, Suzie. Unfortunately, my appointment was in relation to a silent miscarriage, but I was made to feel reassured and allowed to feel in control of my situation.

Suzie showed a lot of compassion and explained everything in a clear manner and give us time to ask questions to ensure we made the right decision for us. She reassured me that miscarriages are common and it was nothing we had done wrong whilst also recognising the emotional impact it has and validating our feelings.
