"I hope everyone gets to benefit from this team"

About: Continuity of Midwifery Carer Service / Emerald Team

(as the patient),

I’ve been under the care of the CoMC (Emerald Team) for my first pregnancy. I can’t express how invaluable this team is and it’s so nice to have the opportunity to meet them at the ‘’meet the team’ days.

My midwife Gillian has been amazing, so attentive and is there for any queries or questions I have. She has really made my first pregnancy experience so smooth and has made me feel really calm through out . Having someone as a point of contact, who has time to speak with you and get to know you has really meant the world. 

Having been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, I was really worried I’d not have the same contact with the CoMC as I had. I was so relieved to know I was still on their caseload, that I still have meet-ups/appointments with my named midwife and that I get the benefit of the CoMC pathway. 
It’s also nice knowing that someone from the Emerald team, who knows me/of me is going to be there as a support when I go into labour. I really can’t sing the praises of the CoMC enough, I hope everyone gets to benefit from this team in the future. 

Thank you for everything
