Miss Caoilin Maclaverty 2018-12-24 Person 5 5 0

I was at 40wks and started the day by being induced, the induction did not go according to plan and i was rushed into Labour Ward as my baby's heart beat was on a deceleration over a period of time, after being seen by the Midwife a team of doctors was called in to assess my situation, after they examined me, they decided to break my waters to see the possible cause of deceleration, the heart rate returned to a consistent rhythm afterwards but the waters were the wrong colour for a normal birth, it was put forward to me by the team of doctors to have a C-Section, this is where i became apprehensive as i wanted a normal birth, Miss Maclaverty entered the room shortly afterwards introduced herself and proceeded to tell me the facts and possible reasons for the scenario i was in, in these situations you require someone to look you in the eye and tell you how it is, i am therefore grateful for that moment in time and Miss Maclaverty double checked my dilation and re-iterated in theatre if i understood the reasons for the procedure, once successfully delivered Miss Maclaverty double checked that i was ok and treated me with compassion and respect throughout.
