"My care was of the highest quality"

About: Maternity care / Labour suite maternity

(as a service user),

I unfortunately was given devastating news at my 12 week scan that I had miscarried. 

I was given a few options and decided the medical route was the best option for me. 

2 days later I arrived at the QEUH labour ward where I was to deliver my baby. I was terrified and filled with dread, I didn’t know how I was going to manage. However, I was sent two of the most caring and compassionate midwives to look after me. 

My care was of the highest quality, they spoke me through every milestone, I felt safe and so well looked after - even though it was such horrible circumstances. 

Kelly and Gill looked after me and my partner equally, they were so informative and professional at all times.

I will be forever grateful that those ladies were my midwives, both are such a credit to the QEUH labour ward. 

All doctors and midwives gave excellent care throughout my time, but my midwives were amazing! 

Thank you so much!
