"I'm really pleased with how the birth went"

I was feeling quite anxious about having my baby in Raigmore after quite a traumatic experience previously, and had really hoped for a Belford birth this time around, but had to go to Raigmore and was really disappointed about the lack of birthing pool there.

But the midwife Olivia who delivered our baby was great and although there was some last minute complications, she listened to what I wanted, helped me understand my options and ultimately I still felt in charge of my decisions and I'm really pleased with how the birth went. I really just want to say thank you to Olivia for being so lovely! 

Also the care from my community midwife Megan at the Belford throughout my pregnancy was brilliant. She was always a good listener, well informed and friendly. I can't speak highly enough of the midwifery team at the Belford!
