"I could not have done it without them."

About: Maternity care / Antenatal clinic Maternity care / Community Midwives Maternity care / Consultant Led Unit Maternity care / Maternity Triage

(as the patient),

From the moment I contacted the midwifery team I could not have been better supported.

As someone with a cardiac diagnosis, I was monitored closely & effectively and was supported through every step of my pregnancy.

Unfortunately I had a very traumatic labour however the midwives and consultant and the student midwives could not have better. They were incredible from the care I received, the care my daughter received when I went into theatre after Labour, to the support my husband & mum received.

The team were absolutely incredible and I could not have done it without them.

Dear encryptionsc66,

Congratulations to you and your husband on the birth of your daughter. I would like to thank you for taking the time to feedback your experience whilst in our care, especially when you will be busy with a baby.

The antenatal team will be delighted to hear you felt cared for throughout your pregnancy. I am sorry to hear you had a traumatic labour, please contact me if you feel you would like some emotional support to process this. Despite labour being a difficult time, I appreciate you letting us know everyone who cared for you, managed to support you and your family. I will personally inform all the staff of your thanks, this makes the job worthwhile, knowing they have been able to support a family.

Please feel free to contact me at pamela.galloway@nhs.scot should you wish to discuss the offer of additional support.

Best Wishes

Pamela
