The whole theatre team were fantastic throughout my section. They kept me calm & distracted when I was feeling anxious myself. 

A special thanks to Karen who spoke to me throughout the whole section, keeping me calm & Gemma (midwife) who explained everything from the minute I was on the ward m, into the theatre, and then into recovery. 

Myself & Partner can’t thank everyone enough for making this special time as calm & relaxing as possible!

Also the midwives in the neonatal unit for looking after my son & explaining everything to us. We are very thankful to the care you provided.
