"All of the staff in maternity care are heroes"

About: Borders General Hospital / Maternity care

(as a service user),

I went into labour ward and gave birth very quickly to my daughter. The care and encouragement I received was outstanding. Morag, Leigh and Roma who delivered my daughter got me through labour when I really didn’t believe I could do it. The aftercare was also outstanding, Carly and Cammy were so supportive and helpful whenever I needed them. When I was moved into the ward, Morag and Christina were both extremely supportive and helped me anytime I needed whether that was going to the toilet or asking for pain relief. All of the staff in the maternity care wards are heroes in my eyes!! Thank you all so much.
