I cannot thank Bassetlaw Labour ward enough for the care I received. Not only did the staff care for me but also my husband who was resident with me the whole time. Everyone from the midwives to the domestic staff were incredibly caring and helpful. I was a inpatient on labour ward for a week before I had the baby via emergency section after a failed induction. I had an emotional rollercoaster but the midwives were incredible who cared for me and offered emotional support and an ear to listen to my worries ensuring they can relieve them wherever possible. I would like to give a particular mention to the housekeeping staff who were genuinely lovely and couldn't do enough to help or meet our needs. I would like to give a mention to midwife Amanda (sorry unsure of surname!) who gave excellent care and I couldn't thank enough. I would mainly like to give my upmost and thanks to Sam Whalley who looked after us most shifts and is the most amazing, caring, thorough and genuinely lovely person and also midwife. Sam is such a hard worker who will do anything to help and goes above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed. If I could recommend Sam to everyone who was due to go into labour ward I would! Sam made a tough and difficult time a lot easier and even stayed over her shift to help deliver our daughter when we was rushed to theatre for a c section. I could write all day about how amazing Sam is and also the Bassetlaw labour ward. I feel lucky and privileged to have been able to have our daughter at this hospital. Bassetlaw labour ward is a vital service for this local area and I can't thank them enough.
