I thought the midwives care had greatly improved since I was pregnant with my eldest three years ago. This time round the community midwife (I saw the same person each time which was great) seemed to have plenty of time at each appointment, unlike previously she was never running late. This made me feel like I had time to ask all the questions I needed to and because she seemed to have more time it felt like the care was more comprehensive. She had a great "bed-side" manner, very approachable, caring and professional.

I had extra appointments due to pre eclampsia during labour to monitor my blood pressure and felt reassured to be in good hands. For improvement: specific times of visits would be useful

I liked the continueity of seeing the same midwife throughout my pregnancy. I felt listened to re post concerns re previous birth and have had my wishes accomodated re this birth. I felt communication was good within antenatal service and all staff and doctors very pleasant.

The midwives I saw were really helpful and knowledgeable. The only downside was not being given a time for an appointment and some days having to wait in all day.
